Information

Vin Santo is a dessert wine from Tuscany, Italy. It has a golden amber color and a sweet, nutty flavor. The aroma is rich with notes of dried fruit, honey, and caramel. On the palate, it is luscious and smooth, with flavors of raisin, fig, and a hint of almond. Vin Santo is traditionally enjoyed with biscotti and other sweet desserts, but it can also pair well with blue cheese.
