VINSANTO DI MONTEPULCIANO D.O.C. ROMEO

My Vin Santo is produced only in small amounts as it is a particularly special wine. It is made only from the highest quality grapes, scrupulously chosen from the following varieites: Malvasia (60%), Pulcinculo (30%), Trebbiano (10%), all of which are grown in Vigna al Piano and Vigna al Fosso on the Podere Corsica farm.

The grapes, “hand-selected” from the vine are laid to dry on lake reed mats where they remain for at least 120 days. At the end of this process they are pressed and the must obtained is placed in small casks of 50 to 75 litres, its home for at least the next five years. During this time it will not be touched. Finally the wine is released, a moment of great emotion, because each cask is a surprise; the quality and even the quantity is unknown.

This is all part of the charm of Vin Santo, a mystery which continues to fascinate me year after year.

Once released from the casks the wine is bottle-aged for at least 30 - 36 months, all of which means that my Vin Santo is ready to be sold only after ten or sometimes twelve years, depending on the vintage.

Grape Varieties: Malvasia 60%, Pulcinculo 30%, Trebbiano 10%,
Can be kept for: 15 - 20 years.
