More questions
The Vin Santo del Chianti Classico DOC from Marchesi Antinori in a 375 ml bottle presents itself as a dessert wine with a clear territorial identity. Amber and luminous in color, it shows an aromatic profile with notes of dried fruit, honey and light hints of candied citrus; on the palate it is enveloping, with a sweetness that is present but balanced by freshness that supports its drinkability. The structure is elegant and the finish persistent without being cloying, making it suitable for a contemplative tasting or as the conclusion of a refined meal.
It traditionally pairs with dry pastries such as cantucci, with baked goods and desserts featuring dried fruit, and also stands up well to savory or blue cheeses and dark chocolate in moderate amounts. Recommended serving temperature: cool, around 10–14 °C. Store the bottle in a cool, sheltered place until ready to serve. The 375 ml format is convenient for one or several shared tastings.

The story
The estate’s winemaking origins are linked to the noble Della Gherardesca family (vineyards since the late 17th century). The property entered the Antinori holdings in the 1930s; the estate’s modern winemaking development took place from the late 1980s–1990s. First documented vintage of Vermentino at the estate: 1996.
Production philosophy
To express the Bolgheri terroir through parcel selection, experimentation in the vineyard and cellar, and practices focused on quality and respect for the territory.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in the Bolgheri DOC (Upper Maremma) on a plain encircled by gentle hills known as the “Bolgheri Amphitheatre.” Climate is moderated by sea breezes; alluvial soils range from sandy-clay to silty-clay with fine gravel (Bolgheri agglomerate), influencing the character of varieties grown (Cabernet, Merlot, Vermentino, etc.).
