Ricasoli Castello di Brolio Vin Santo 2014

Brilliant Amber yellow color. To the nose, hints of toasted hazelnuts and almonds blended with custard and figs. The taste is warm, soft and velvety. A pretty long and persistent aftertaste, enhance the olfactory sensations on the finish.

The Castello di Brolio Vin Santo, true to tradition, expresses one of the historic grapes of the area, Malvasia del Chianti. Its production method also stays true to tradition. The grapes destined for Vin Santo are gathered late in the harvest, at the point at which the sugar content is high enough to sustain the long ageing process that this wine undergoes. The bunches are hung and left to dry partially for several months. The must obtained from light crushing ferments slowly and is then placed in oak.

Malvasia 90%, Trebbiano 5%, Sangiovese 5%
