Description

Ah, the Travignoli Vin Santo, a golden elixir from the heart of Tuscany! Imagine yourself transported to the rolling hills of Pelago, where the Conte G. Busi's vineyards bask in the warm Italian sun. For generations, the Travignoli family has poured their heart and soul into crafting wines that capture the very essence of this magical region. The Vin Santo is one of their most treasured creations.

Crafted primarily from Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes, this Vin Santo is a labour of love. The grapes are carefully selected and left to dry naturally on mats, concentrating their sugars and intensifying their flavors. The juice is then fermented and aged for years in small, traditional oak barrels called caratelli. This slow, patient process allows the wine to develop its signature complexity and richness.

Pour yourself a glass of this amber-hued nectar, and you'll be greeted by an intoxicating bouquet of dried apricots, figs, and honey, intertwined with delicate notes of hazelnut and almond. On the palate, it is lusciously sweet, but with a refreshing acidity that keeps it from being cloying. The flavors linger on the tongue, leaving a warm, satisfying finish.

This Vin Santo is a true testament to the Tuscan tradition of 'vinsanto e cantucci'. It's traditionally served with 'cantucci', those delightful almond biscotti that are perfect for dipping. The wine's sweetness complements the nutty, crunchy biscotti, creating a harmonious pairing that's simply irresistible. But don't limit yourself to cantucci! This Vin Santo is also wonderful with aged cheeses like Pecorino Toscano, creamy Gorgonzola, or even a rich foie gras. Its sweetness cuts through the richness of these foods, creating a balanced and delightful experience.

Imagine serving this at the end of a memorable meal with friends and family. As you savor each sip, you'll feel the warmth of the Tuscan sun on your face and hear the echoes of laughter in the air. The Travignoli Vin Santo is more than just a wine; it's a celebration of life, love, and the simple pleasures of good food and good company. Or treat yourself after a hard days work. I would recommend to store it in the wine cabinet and make sure it is chilled. It should be between 12 and 14 degrees, while serving this exquisite dessert wine.

This wine is so special because of the region it's from and the winery that produces it. Tuscany is a region synonymous with winemaking excellence, and the unique terroir of Pelago contributes to the wine's distinctive character. Travignoli is a family-run estate that is deeply committed to preserving the traditions of Tuscan winemaking, while also embracing innovation to create wines of exceptional quality. The family's passion and dedication are evident in every bottle.

I highly recommend that you experience this delicious nectar! Salute!
