2011 Isole e Olena Vin Santo del Chianti Classico DOC

There is nothing more quintessentially Tuscany than Vin Santo, and it is the pride of Isole e Olena to produce a very traditional Vin Santo, following the ancient methods taught to us by the old farmers of the area.

Malvasia and Trebbiano grapes are dried on straw mats for approximately 3 months and are then gently
pressed. The must is slowly fermented and aged in sealed caratelli of various sizes and different kinds of
wood for 11 years, in contact with the mother yeast, the special characteristic of this sweet wine, that
allows it to develop the layers of complexity for which it is known.

The vines for this wine are quite old, from 25 to 43 years of age. They grow at an altitude of 400 meters
on soils of marly shists, sandstone and limestone and enjoy a south-southwestern exposition.
