TENUTA DI POGGIO S.R.L. SOCIETA' AGRICOLA COSIMO MARIA MASINI Fedardo White 2015 Vin Santo del Chianti

White - Sweet

Description

Viticulture

For Fedardo, contrary to tradition, we prefer an early harvest rather than a late harvest. We harvest the grapes in the beginning of September, which allows us to work with healthier grapes that have thick and whole skins for the drying process. This helps avoid any type of degradation or unfavorable rot.

Vinification

After harvest, the grapes are weighed and dried for almost 4 months, until they arrive to the amount of sugar needed. The grapes are then pressed and the must goes to fermentation in small barrels, called “caratelli” which hold between between 50 and 100 liters.

Wine aging

The small barrels are closed and left sealed for over 5 years, during which the long and slow process of fermentation and oxygenation occurs, bringing to life this unique and special wine.

Tasting notes

This traditional dessert wine from Tuscany displays generous aroma and flavours of dried apricots, almonds, roasted peanuts, honey, caramel, toffee and creme brulee.
