Description

The Vinsanto is produced from Chardonnay and Trebbiano grapes that are left on the vine before being removed by bunches to be hung and dried from rafters for at east 3 months. This Vinsanto is from the Castello di Pomino Tuscan estate which was built in the 16th century by Florentine archetict Gerhardo Silvani. and which was recognized as early as 1716 for the excellence of its wines.

Food Pairing suggestions:
Pre-eminently a "meditation," or sipping wine, it is also delicious with nuts and a wide range of sweets and desserts. Best served in large-stemmed crystal.

Tasting Notes:
Rich deep amber with a nose that shows exceptional aromatic complexity, from sun-dried grapes and mixed nuts, to candied fruit with intriguing notes of Asian spices. Impressive weight on the palate, nicely crisp, with a tasty acidity that beautifully offsets the wine's considerable sweetness; a silky, almost endless finish leaves the mouth pleasantly clean.

This is a Live Event Item.
