Vin Santo

1998 Chianti 100% Malvasia

Rocca Di Montegrossi Vin Santo, crafted from 100% Malvasia, is a remarkable white wine hailing from the renowned Chianti region. This exceptional vintage showcases a rich golden color that promises a luscious experience. With its full-bodied nature, the wine envelops the palate in warmth and opulence, while the high acidity brings a refreshing brightness that balances its sweet character. The intense fruitiness evokes notes of dried apricot, honey, and subtle hints of citrus, creating a delightful complexity that lingers on the taste buds. As an off-dry wine, it offers a perfect sweetness that harmonizes beautifully with its vibrant acidity, making it a wonderful companion for desserts or enjoyed alone. This Vin Santo not only reflects the storied tradition of the Chianti area but also stands out as an exquisite expression of the Malvasia grape.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
