Dessert Wine

Vin Santo ‘Donato’ Antinori                                                         750ml                         30.00                                                                                                              Glass 100ml             4.50 Vin Santo is made in a very old and traditional method, the grapes are harvested and then dried for three to six months in a traditional (appassimento) method. The grapes are then vinified into small barrels made from cedar or oak called caratelli. The resultant wine is somewhat “Sherry-like” in character, sweet with enough acidity to keep them from being cloying.   Muffato Castello Della Sala Antinori  2005                               500ml                          35.00                                                                                                               Glass 100ml               7.50 Medium gold colour with peachy-honey aromas.

The grapes are harvested in late December to concentrate the sugar content. With a production of only 7000 bottles  per year this excellent wine is extremely limited. It is rich and ample with persistent perfumes, and hints of mature fruit, apricot jam, acacia honey, broom sage and hay.     Back to main wine page
