From the Blend vinification of Trebbiano, Tuscan Malvasia and San Colombano grapes, Castello di Pomino produces this sensational Vinsanto. A meditation wine that pairs happily with dried fruit and dessert, in large glasses in order to promote oxygenation. It encompasses all the tradition of the Tuscan culture in terms of winemaking. The origin of the grapes is that of the Castello di Pomino within the domains of the estate. The wine develops malolactic fermentation during the long aging in wooden casks. It then refines for a further 4 years.

The important alcohol content penetrates the nostrils leaving a spicy note of vanilla and nutmeg. The taste in the mouth is characterized by the palate that is enveloped in an elegant softness and the aftertaste is reminiscent of toasted hazelnut and walnut husk. Wine of excellent persistence and with an acidity that makes it lively even after a long aging over the years.
