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.

Chianti

Sprawling between the Tuscan cities of Siena and Florence, Chianti is probably the most famous of Italy's wine regions. Its dry, tangy red wines have been produced in the area since at least the 13th century. In the 18th century, Chianti was one of the first wine regions to be officially demarcated. Enjoying a classic continental climate, grapevines thrive in Tuscany's hot, dry summer days and mild evening temperatures. The main grape of Chianti is the Italian superstar Sangiovese, which typically expresses flavors of red cherry and espresso. Some wines also feature notes of oregano, roasted tomato and balsamic vinegar, giving Chianti its adage, "Italy in a glass."
