Castello di Querceto Vin Santo del Chianti Classico is a legendary Italian dessert wine. It boasts a rich history and an unforgettable flavour profile.

Castello di Querceto is a family winery founded in 1740. Today the fifth generation has taken up the winemaking mantle. Today they focus on the development of premium Chianti wines using the most treasured grape varieties of the Tuscan region.

This is a remarkable example of a traditionally-made Vin Santo from Chianti. It is made from grapes harvested from a single 1 hectare vineyard planted with Malvasia di Toscana, Trebbiano Toscano, and San Colombano.

Winemakers dry the grapes for 3 months before pressing, and aged in 100 litre oak caratelli for 3 years. Then, they undergo bottling and a further 3 month maturation at the winery prior to release.

Rich honey, walnuts and raisins with caramel, toffee apple and almonds come to the fore when tasting. It also shows aromas and flavours of dried fig, nuts, sultana, leather, and balsamic hints that make it a wonderful accompaniment to a cheese board. Alternatively, enjoy Castello di Querceto Vin Santo del Chianti Classico with fruit and nut tartlets. A fine example of a traditionally made fine dessert wine.

Suitable for ageing in bottle for up to 25 years after release.
