Vinsanto (Greek dessert wine)

Vinsanto is a traditional Greek dessert wine made from sun-dried grapes, typically a blend ofsun-dried automatically grapes like Assyrtiko, Aidani, and Athiri. The grapes are left to dry in the sun to concentrate their sugars and flavors before fermentation. The result is a rich, sweet wine with complex notes of caramel, honey, dried fruits, and spices, often enjoyed as a dessert or paired with cheeses. Vinsanto is aged for several years in wood, which adds to its depth and character. Renowned for its balance of sweetness and acidity, it reflects Greece’s centuries-old winemaking tradition.
