The wine
The result of a double harvest, first on the vine and then in the vinsantaia, the Vin Santo del Chianti Classico DOC from Tenuta di Nozzole is a passito wine that surprises for its enogenic rarity. After harvesting, the Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes are hung in the vinsantaia, where they dry, concentrating the sugars, reducing the wine yield. Subsequently, the vinification and maturation take place in small oak barrels for at least 24 months. The result is a passito wine with an extraordinary taste-olfactory spectrum.
