  • Villa De Vetrice Vin Santo Del Chianti Rufina Riserva
    Sangiovese, Malvasia Bianca and Trebbiano. Golden amber color. Intense and persistent aromas. Flavors of toffee, walnut, leather, oil, caramel and dried apricot with dried fig and orange peel accents. Fresh, focused and elegantly open with a think and exquisite mouth-feel. Balanced, complex, harmonic and off dry. The multiple layers, long finish, acidity and good structure make this wine a perfect partner for nut based cakes, dessert cakes, liver-paté dishes and complex cheeses. Villa di Vetrice Vin Santo del Chianti Rufina Riserva starts its history in the specially designed “Vinsantaia,” a space under the roof where the grapes are hung from rafters to dry from the harvest until December. The Vin Santo is then sealed into small barrels (“caratelli”) for a minimum of ten years. The wine that is left after the long aging time (typically only 2/3) is then carefully separated from the lees and bottled. Long overshadowed by its sister appellation, Chianti Classico, Chianti Rufina is now emerging as the top subzone for the production of Sangiovese. As one Italian wine writer put it recently, Chianti Rufina is “Chianti in montagna” or “mountain Chianti.” In other words, Chianti Rufina is the highest point in the entire Chianti appellation. Altitudes there allow winemakers to create wines with remarkable aging potential, wines that will retain their freshness for decades. The Grati family have been growing grapes and olives in the Rufina hills for five generations. Their two estates, Vetrice and Galiga, cover an astounding 1,389 acres, of which 247 acres are under vine. Only 15 miles from Florence, the landscape is classically Tuscan, though considerably cooler than the plain.

  • Piovano Arlotto – Vin Santo Del Chianti Doc
    Tenuta di Morzano Piovano Arlotto – Vin Santo del Chianti Doc HISTORY A typical Tuscan sweet wine, Vin Santo originates from drying on the mats of Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia grapes. After pressing the must undergoes a slow aging in chestnut barrels. The origin of its name leads us to the Council of Florence in 1439: the Greek Metropolitan Giovanni Bessarione drinking this kind of wine said: "This is the wine of Xantos!", probably referring to the Greek passito wine of Santorini. His table neighbors, confusing "Xantos" with "santos", thought that for the Metropolitan that wine was so exceptional that it could be called "holy" (santo). This wine was since then called Vin Santo. THE WINE The wine has an amber color, very clear and lively. The nose prevails notes of dried fruit, honey and a nice kit of toasted sensations. The palate is harmonious, velvety and reveals an intense structure as well as a long persistence. Piovano Arlotto accompanies dry pastries but also liver, foie gras and cheeses. OENOLOGIST : Dott. Riccardo Cotarella TECHNICAL DATA: Grapes: Trebbiano, Malvasia and San Colombano Production area: Montespertoli Vineyard extension: 2 hectares Altitude of vineyards: 300 mt. slm Soil type: Clay schist Growing system: Guyot Density per hectare: 3.500 stumps Annual production: 21 hl First year of production: 1981 Vintage available on the market: 2002 Next vintage available on the market: 2004 Harvest: Early September Vinification: Drying of grapes on mats until January and next gently pressed Aging: 5 – 10 years in casks of chestnut Aging in bottle: 1 year Alcohol: 16% Total acidity: 7.64 g/l Dry extract: 29 g/l Serving temperature: 14° - 16° C.

  • Vin Santo Del Chianti 2008
    Donatella Cinelli Colombini VIN SANTO DEL CHIANTI DOC 2008 Vin Santo is part of the Tuscan history. In the old days all noble families had caratelli, the typical small barrels where the vin santo is aged, under their roofs in their villas. Vin Santo was always served at important banquets. We do not know when the production of this sweet, fair, refined wine began, surely though it already existed in Siena in the 14 th century. It was in fact during a banquet that the Vin Santo stopped being called “vino pretto” which meant pure wine and took on the present name. According to legend , this took place in 1439 during the Council of Florence. The Greek Cardinal, Giovanni Bressarione was present, and when he tasted the wine he exclaimed << This wine if from Xantos!>> with reference to the island where particularly appreciated sweet wines were produced. Since then vino xantos became Vin Santo, a delicious Tuscan nectar. Fattoria del Colle too has its Vinsanto loft under the roof in the 16 th century villa. Going across the barrel ageing area, and up the stairs it is possible to reach the loft where in the winter it is very cold and in the summer very hot. This is where the small barrels are kept, where the fair liquid, pressed from dried grapes, stays to age for more than 10 years. Last year the Fattoria del Colle Vin Santo del Chianti got 93/100 from Robert Parker/Wine Advocate. A success that we hope will repeat itself in the future. We suggest not dunking biscuits in Vin Santo.

  • AZIENDA VINICOLA ROCCA DI MONTEGROSSI Vin Santo Del Chianti Classico 2009
    Wine Facts AZIENDA VINICOLA ROCCA DI MONTEGROSSI Vin Santo del Chianti Classico 2009 The Ricasoli-Firidolfi family is synonymous with Chianti Classico, as Baron Bettino Ricasoli in 1872 created the original “formula” for Chianti Classico’s blend of grapes. The Rocca di Montegrossi estate is located in a unique micro-zone called Monti in Chianti, part of Gaiole in Chianti. This exceptional, high-altitude plateau with its stony, calcareous soils produces some of the more elegant and harmonious Chianti Classico wines in the appellation; Monti in Chianti is one of the “very best areas” of Chianti Classico, says Antonio Galloni. WINERY: Azienda Viticola Rocca di Montegrossi WINEMAKER: Marco Ricasoli-Firidolfi AGRONOMISTS: Dr. Stefano Dini and Marco Ricasoli-Firidolfi CONSULTING ENOLOGIST: Attilio Pagli ESTABLISHED: 1981 REGION: ITALY • Tuscany • Gaiole in Chianti APPELLATION: Vin Santo del Chianti Classico DOC BLEND: 100% Malvasia Bianca del Chianti VINEYARDS: Estate vineyards are located in Monti in Chianti, a “micro-area” of Gaiole in Chianti. Soils combine alberese (limestone) and galestro (schist) with clay. Vineyards are in organic conversion. AGE OF VINES: 5-20 years WINEMAKING: Hand-harvested. Individual bunches are hung to dry on a series of nets in the estate’s cool cellars, to gradually acquire botrytis (muffa nobile, or noble rot). Only the healthiest grapes are kept; the rest discarded. After three months, dried grapes are pressed. Juice is fermented on indigenous yeasts in 50L or 100L barrels, each made of cherry, oak and mulberry wood. Aged in barrel for eight years. Aged further in bottle for 24 months before release. Residual sugar 352 g/L.

There are many theories about the origin of its name. A legend from Siena tells of a friar who in 1348 cured the sick with the wine normally used by the brothers to celebrate mass. Word spread that this was a miraculous wine, leading to the name “santo,” or “holy,” — although another less picturesque explanation cannot be ruled out, which is simply the association of this wine with its customary use during the mass.
