Production method

Vin Santo is a very particular and precious wine, which strictly respects the most ancient farming traditions. Harvesting is done by hand, selecting the best grapes that undergo a long and natural drying process of at least 6 months. During this period, the grapes naturally lose more than 20% of their water content, concentrating the sugar and all the other components in the berries. The dried grapes are pressed and the must obtained is placed in small barrels for a slow fermentation phase, which precedes a period of aging, in the vinsantaia, lasting for at least 6 years. The wine is also aged in the bottle for other 12 months before release to consuption.
