Product Overview
Winery's Notes
"Made from Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes harvested in October and left to dry until early February, Castello di Monsanto’s Vinsanto is produced according to strict traditions. The must is stored for a decade in small casks, which are exposed to the elements in the Vinsantaia throughout summer and winter. No technological analysis is performed – all that’s required is infinite passion for a great Chianti tradition. This sweet wine is not just for desserts, its acidic structure gives an outstanding elegance and persistence, enabling it to stand up to unusual food pairings."
Varietal Composition: 50% Trebbiano, 50% Malvasia

90 Points - Wine Spectator
"Aromas and flavors of caramel, salted butter and roasted almond mark this sweet white. High in acidity, with a light chalky feeling around the gums. Drink now through 2018. 50 cases imported." -BS, 10/15/16
