Vin Santo di S.Niccolò 2018
€29.00
VAT included
Neither too dry nor too sweet. Produced in strict accordance with tradition, but with Malvasia Bianca and a small amount of Trebbiano grapes dried out in an aired area and not on “cannicci” (special wicker surfaces). And then in half-barriques with 20 to 30 year old deposits (“madri”). There’s never enough.
Tasting Notes: bright amber colour. The nose is characterised by dried fruit aromas, with decisive notes of honey, caramel and candied fruit. Full and enfolding on the palate, while offering a chestnut flour sensation and a long finish.
Pairings: pairs perfectly with matured cheeses, marbled cheeses and desserts. Drank on its own, it becomes a meditation wine.
