| Comments: |
A very dark garnet red dessert wine with strong, dense legs, made with Malbo Gentile grapes.
The olfactory profile is intense, with notes of plum jam and light notes of coffee and amaretto. In the mouth it opens with sweet, warm, soft sensations, then the tannins emerge and are responsible for the pleasant bitterish aftertaste.
To be served at the end of the meal paired with soft, creamy and chocolaty desserts, such as Bignè with Cream in Chocolate Sauce, or Tenerina Ferrarese (typical chocolate cake from Ferrara). Excellent also as meditation wine with quality chocolate. |

One-of-a-kind, golden yellow wine, with perfume of flowers and intense honey, almond and dried fruit notes. To the palate it is sweet and harmonic, elegant, mellow and seductive, pleasantly persistent and gratifying. It may be drunk as meditation wine, but pairs magnificently with Sardinian pastry, amaretto cookies, desserts and herb-flavored cheeses.

Made with 70% Malvasia and 30% Trebbiano grapes, by selecting the best bunches and hanging them to wither for a month in a dry room. After being pressed, the juice ages for at least three years in small 50-liter (around 13 gallons) cypress barrels called caratelli, which are then sealed with cement and kept in place subject to continuous wide temperature excursion, which facilitates the creation of the typical Vin Santo perfume and flavor.
The color is amber yellow with golden reflections. To the palate it is sweet, dry and lightly alcoholic. Excellent served at the end of the meal with baked goods, in particular the typical Tuscan biscotti known as cantucci or cantuccini. |

Made with grapes harvested during the second half of September, then left to wither for months in special shelves. The grapes are pressed when the winemaker is satisfied that the juice left is at the perfect level of sugar content, ready to start its slow transformation, which will last for years in typical caratelli barrels.
Amber colored, this meditation wine has an intense, complex nose, with notes of spices and dried fruits such as figs and plums. To the palate it is full, almost creamy, and gives the pleasant warm sensation of the perfect combination of alcohol and residue sugar. |
