Il Vero Vin Santo
Vin Santo
del Chianti DOC Riserva, is created through a long and slow process that begins
with the grape harvest ( chosen among the vine species of Trebbiano, San
Colombano, Malvasia) and the natural dehydration of the grapes on " Castelli di
Canicci" ( structures made of reeds) by the Vinsantaia
LA VINSANTAIA
The
must from the dried grapes is left to ferment for three years in the "
Caratelli" ( small chestnut or durmast barrels) after which the contents are
collected and left to settle, for about a year.
Finally, the wine is
bottled and left to age for a year, in such a way as to let all its fragrances
and tastes intensity, before beginning to sell the true Vin Santo del Chianti
DOC Riserva. ( thus five years passed since the grape harvest).
