The Whisky Super Tuscan Wine Cask by Florentis is an excellent expression of craftsmanship that combines the Scottish whisky tradition with the elegance of the Tuscan territory. This distillate refines its refined notes in wooden casks that previously held Super Tuscan wines, typical Tuscan blends known for their complexity and structure. The choice of these casks gives the whisky an unmistakable territorial imprint, enriching the distillate with nuances of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and a light hint of toasted oak.
The result is a medium-bodied whisky, characterized by a harmonious balance between smoothness and aromatic persistence. The delicate fruity essences intertwine with a vanilla and slightly tannic background, typical of Super Tuscan wines, offering a rich and refined tasting experience. This product represents a refined reinterpretation of the whisky tradition, designed for those who want to discover new taste profiles without sacrificing quality. Perfect to enjoy neat or with a splash of water, it pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses and dark chocolate-based desserts.

The story
Florentis was born as a project of the Chioccioli Altadonna family, known for wine production in Chianti Classico. The brand is part of the Winestillery initiative, which combines winemaking expertise and experimentation in spirits production, bringing the first whisky production to the Chianti Classico area.
Distillation
Single, discontinuous distillation in a Frilli-type (hybrid copper) pot still heated by a steam jacket; prolonged spontaneous fermentation (indicated as six days / 7 hl in terracotta amphorae according to official sources).
Ageing
Maturation in Tuscan oak casks that previously held local wines (e.g. Vin Santo, casks used for Super Tuscans) to transfer the wine component to the spirit.
