Vin San Laurentino
ヴィン・サン・ラウレンティーノ
Castello di Bossi
Sangiovese · Malvasia · Trebbiano · Moscato
About this wine
The estate's Vin Santo, a Toscana IGT dessert wine named after San Laurentino, the patron saint of the church in the village of Bossi. Made from Sangiovese, Malvasia, Trebbiano and Moscato grapes that are dried for around five months before slow fermentation and lengthy maturation in traditional caratelli casks. Amber gold in color with aromas of dried stone fruits, toasted almonds, figs, pine nuts and orange blossom; full-bodied and creamy, with enough acidity to keep the sweetness from feeling cloying.
A traditional Tuscan dessert wine best enjoyed in small pours — sweet but balanced, never syrupy.
Sommelier's Note
"This is old-school Tuscan winemaking at its most patient — five months of grape drying and years in tiny caratelli casks for a wine meant to be sipped slowly."
Food Pairings
Classic with cantucci (almond biscotti) for dipping, aged pecorino, foie gras, or simply enjoyed on its own as a meditation wine.
When to drink it
