The Vin Santo del Chianti Classico Il Decano di Villa Montepaldi is produced with the two traditional base grapes, Trebbiano and Malvasia. All the wines produced on the Villa Montepaldi estate are born from the interaction between historical, scientific and technological research, and a deep knowledge of the territory; what distinguishes this company is the double soul: on the one hand, the company, a strong productive identity that is constantly listening to the market, on the other hand the university, a true laboratory of experimentation, which guarantees the scientific and innovative approach to production processes. The grapes are harvested at the beginning of September, dried in the loft, vinified in steel and aged for a long time in the typical kegs of various sizes, between 30 and 120 litres. After 10 years the wine enters the bottle, where it rests for another 6 months before being marketed.

VIN SANTO DEL CHIANTI CLASSICO THE DECAN 2009 VILLA MONTEPALDI: TASTING

The Vin Santo del Chianti Classico Il Decano di Villa Montepaldi shows a bright amber yellow dress. On the nose, the dried fruit, pine nut, almond and date in primis, are accompanied by peach and apricot in syrup, chestnut honey, caramel, candied orange and distant references to dried mushrooms. In the mouth, it is fresh, sweet and savoury, with a great aroma and a nice length. Excellent with blue cheeses, as with the American pecan pie.
