Cantalici Vin Santo Del Chianti Classico 2011

• An Italian wine that has intense, golden yellow, with amber highlights
• On the nose it is rich and enveloping with flavours of acacia honey, dried figs and apricots, toasted almonds and vanilla
• In the mouth the sweetness is full and balanced with a good and clean finish of citrus, marronglace and sage’s nuances
• Serving temperature of Cantalici Vin Santo Del Chianti Classico is 12-14°

A typical Tuscan sweet dessert wine, to accompany the famous almond cantuccini or to appreciate after a meal, alone. Great with pastries, cakes and cheeses.

Selection of the grapes is very carefully by hand then leaving them on racks in airy rooms until January. The next process consists of pressing and fermentation in small oak barrels called "caratelli". Storing the juice in the loft over a period of years.

During fermentation there are seasonal and daily temperature changes, with activation and slowdown steps. This very long process, led by autochthonous yeasts, gives the wine its peculiar and unique characteristics of colour and aroma.

Cantalici is run by two brothers, Daniele and Carlo Cantalici. They chose to start producing their own wine organically after years spent working in tight connection with Chianti Classico vineyards.

In their winery in Gaiole you'll find a great "family" of people collaborating with to share warmth, hospitality and  the flavours of their homeland.
