Description

It envelops the sense of smell with notes of walnut, panforte and tobacco, toffee and gingerbread, dried figs and peanut brittle with spicy Christmas nuances. Sip with an enveloping sugary charge, supported by an unexpected freshness, it is soft and savory at the same time and characterized by a timeless finish.

A meditation wine, it is perfect with dry pastries and blue cheeses.

Vin Santo is a sweet wine deeply rooted in the Tuscan tradition. The first references date back to the Renaissance, which is also when the Avignonesi family first entered the scene. Vin Santo Occhio di Pernice Avignonesi is made with the mother (yeast) that has been passed down for generations and gives that ethereal flavor. This sweet wine is the result of an exceptionally long aging process during which more than half of this precious liquid evaporates.
