Abbadia Ardenga devotes a small part of its estate to white grape varieties — Trebbiano and Malvasia — used to produce this traditional Tuscan Vinsanto under the Sant'Antimo DOC. The wine shows an amber color with aromas of honey, almonds and white flowers, and a velvety, rich and smooth palate, made following the classic Tuscan method of drying grapes before slow fermentation and aging in small sealed barrels (caratelli).
A rare white-grape detour from an estate defined by Sangiovese — proof this producer's traditional touch extends beyond Brunello.
