Ref: i1060

Price: £12.75

Quantity:

50cl bottle.

Dessert wine. Montescudaio Vin santo is one of the two Tuscan wines of this category which has obtained the acknowledgement of DOC in 1976. It is a true jewel of the Sorbaiano Estate and is produced in very small quantities.

Fattoria Sorbaiano considerably lengthens the compulsory refining period of this wine (4 years by law). It is put on the market only after five years of ageing in small, traditional kegs. The total alcohol content is much higher than the minimum required by the production regulations (17 per-cent)

The grape varieties Malvasia del Chianti, Trebbiano and Vermentino create a tawny-amber colour. The nose is heavenly and intense fragrance. Its scent is reminiscent of dried fruits and wild flowers. The sweet palate leaves a slightly bitterish after-taste.
