Vin Santo
Ripe fruitSpicyWarm
Casa alle Vacche's Vin Santo is a meditation wine, produced using ancient and slow methods. The grapes are naturally dried, then vinified and left to age for years in small barrels. The result: an enveloping, deep, and moving nectar.
Tasting Notes
Antique golden yellow color with amber reflections. The nose is typical and complex, with notes of ripe grapes, candied fruit, toasted almond, and sweet spices. On the palate, it is warm, robust, full-bodied, with well-balanced sweetness and an enveloping aromatic persistence.
Food Pairings
Almond cantuccini, dry pastries, fruit cakes, blue cheeses. Excellent on its own, after dinner or as a meditation wine.
Why Choose It
Vin Santo is more than a wine: it's an authentic Tuscan experience. Sweet without being cloying, powerful yet balanced. Perfect after dinner, with dry pastries or on its own, for meditation. Every sip is a small ritual.
