ヴィン・サント・デル・キャンティ

Cantine Bonacchi

Trebbiano Toscano · Malvasia

About this wine

A traditional Tuscan dessert wine made from 70% Trebbiano Toscano and 30% Malvasia. Grapes are withered until around Christmas, then aged in small traditional barrels called 'caratelli'. Amber in color with intense aromas of dried apricot, sultana, and candied fruit, evolving into notes of caramel and toffee balanced by fresh citrus on a long, sweet finish.

Beginner's Note

A gentle, aromatic introduction to Italian dessert wine — sweet but never cloying.

Sommelier's Note

"This is what Tuscan hospitality tastes like at the end of a meal — dip your biscotti and don't rush it."

Food Pairings

The classic pairing is with cantucci almond biscotti for dipping; also excellent with aged pecorino and foie gras.
