Poggio Arioso – Vinsanto del Chianti d.o.c.g.
This is an authentic Tuscan Vinsanto produced in the classical style. The grapes are harvested early, bunch by bunch, from the best parts of the vine.
White Malvasia Lunga and Tuscan Trebbiano are dried naturally in the 1888 drying room, and are pressed between New Year’s Day and the Epiphany. They are fermented and finished in small 50 litre kegs.
After 5 years of maturation, it is bottled in half litre quantities.
The colour is bright amber, it smells of dried fruit and flowers, and its taste is full, robust, and long lasting.
It is a dessert wine, especially good with cakes and biscuits.
