Descrizione

Vin Santo del Chianti Classico DOC by Castello di Cacchiano is an elegant expression of Tuscan tradition, produced with selected Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes from the hills of Chianti Classico. This sweet passito wine is born from a careful drying of the grapes, a method that concentrates sugars and aromas, followed by a long aging in small wooden barrels that give the wine complexity and a velvety texture.

In the glass, it shows an intense amber color, enriched with golden reflections that anticipate a broad and deep bouquet: notes of honey, toasted almond, vanilla, and a light hint of candied citrus intertwine harmoniously. The sip is enveloping, savory, and well balanced between sweetness and acidity, with a persistent finish that invites contemplation.

Perfect as an after-dinner wine, Vin Santo by Castello di Cacchiano pairs splendidly with dry sweets, cantucci, or blue cheeses, enhancing their taste without weighing it down. An authentic and refined experience in the heart of Chianti.
