Vin Santo is a very special, historic, and long-lived wine. Fanti continues the tradition with this special sweet. This is a blend of 40% Trebbiano Toscano, 40% Malvasia Toscana, and 20% San Colombano, from 30 year old vines. The whole bunches are hung in a ventilated drying room for 4-6 months, where they desiccate, and the sugars and acids concentrate. They are then pressed gently into small oak barrels called caratelli, filled 2/3 full, and sealed with cement for a long, slow ferment and 5 years' aging. Once cracked open and transferred to bottle, they remain for 6 months prior to release. With such a labour-intensive and low-yielding process, only 1,200 375ml bottles are produced each vintage. Pouring a rich golden brown hue, this intense, sweet, syrupy wine is dense with maple, butterscotch, burnished caramel, pipe tobacco, dried apricot, roasted hazelnuts, and caramelized orange peel. Multilayered and very complex, this is best enjoyed solo.
