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.

Vin Santo pairs wonderfully with traditional Tuscan "Cantucci" biscuits (almond biscuits), where the wine’s sweetness balances the almond flavors of the biscotti. For a cheese course, try it with blue cheeses, where its rich, nutty profile complements the tangy, creamy cheese.
