Vin Santo del Nonno 37.5cl

Vin Santo del Nonno is a classic Tuscan dessert wine with a rich amber colour and an irresistibly complex character. Producers craft this traditional Italian sweet wine from carefully dried Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes, fermenting and ageing the must in small oak barrels called caratelli. Furthermore, the extended ageing process develops the wine’s distinctive depth, honeyed sweetness, and warming finish that make it truly special.

About Vin Santo

Vin Santo is one of Tuscany’s most beloved and historic wine traditions. Skilled producers dry grapes on straw mats or hang them to concentrate sugars before pressing. They then ferment and age the must for years in sealed caratelli. Notably, this slow transformation creates a wine of extraordinary complexity and character. Consequently, Vin Santo del Nonno stands as a proud ambassador of Italian winemaking heritage.
