Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine for a moment the sun-drenched Tuscan hills, and in a glass, the very essence of this land. This Vin Santo from Tenuta Tre Rose, 2018 vintage, is a promise of sweetness and tradition, a well-kept secret that I can't wait to share with you.
We are here in the heart of Montepulciano, a region whose winemaking vocation needs no proof. The Tenuta Tre Rose estate is part of this history, perpetuating ancestral know-how. This Vin Santo is the result of a blend of 70% Malvasia and 30% Trebbiano, emblematic grape varieties that draw their character from this unique terroir.
The magic begins with the vinification method: the grapes undergo an appassimento process, a natural drying that concentrates the sugars and aromas. This is followed by slow fermentation, then a minimum of three years of aging in wooden casks, the caratelli, which give this wine its complexity. To the eye, you will be charmed by its intense amber color. On the nose, notes of honey, almond and dried fruits mingle, evoking a rich and warm bouquet. On the palate, its velvety texture reveals a perfect harmony between sweetness and acidity, with a persistence that invites contemplation.
This Vin Santo is an invitation to indulgence. I warmly recommend it with dolci secchi, those traditional dry biscuits, or the famous cantucci. It also pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses, where its sweetness will balance the power of the flavors. It is the ideal companion for the end of a meal in good company, or a moment of solitary meditation, curled up in an armchair, letting yourself be carried away by its aromas. Let yourself be tempted by this authentic expression of Tuscany, a wine that will speak to you of tradition and passion.
