Vin Santo Fontodi 2015 is a legendary Tuscan sweet wine, produced from organic Malvasia and Trebbiano grapes grown in the heart of Panzano. The 2015 vintage allowed for perfect raisining of the fruit, resulting in a wine of immense concentration and viscosity. Following a slow fermentation, the wine spent nearly 10 years maturing in traditional small wooden casks known as caratelli. It delivers a decadent profile of dried apricots, honey and toasted walnuts, supported by a surprisingly vibrant acidity that maintains total balance. This is a rare and artisanal expression of Vin Santo, showcasing the profound depth and oxidative complexity that define Fontodi’s meticulous approach.
