Vinification of the Vin Santo del Chianti Classico from Tenute Marchese Antinori

The powerful Vin Santo del Chianti Classico from Italy is a cuvée made from the Malvasia Fina and Trebbiano grape varieties. The Vin Santo del Chianti Classico is an Old World wine through and through, as this Italian wine exudes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underlines the success of wines from the Old World. The fact that the Malvasia Fina and Trebbiano grapes thrive under the influence of a warm climate also has an undeniable influence on the ripeness of the grapes. Among other things, this results in particularly well-ripened grapes and a rather high alcohol content in the wine. The grapes for the Vin Santo del Chianti Classico are harvested exclusively by hand at the time of optimum ripeness, without the help of coarse and less selective grape harvesters. After harvesting, the grapes are transported to the winery as quickly as possible. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in small oak barrels at controlled temperatures. At the end of fermentation, the Vin Santo del Chianti Classico is aged for 36 months in oak barrels.
