Vin Santo

Vin Santo is a traditional Italian dessert wine, primarily produced in Tuscany. It is made from white grapes, typically Trebbiano and Malvasia, which are dried to concentrate their sugars before fermentation. The wine is often aged in small wooden barrels, giving it a rich, sweet flavor with notes of nuts, dried fruits, and caramel. Vin Santo is frequently served with cantucci, crunchy almond cookies, which are dipped into the wine, enhancing the tasting experience. It's known for its complex taste and is a popular choice for celebratory occasions or as a delightful finish to a meal.
