Tosco's word
The Vivia Bianco from Mortelle, at €16.31 for 75 cl, suits anyone who wants a fresh, versatile white for fish or cheese without a big budget. The Vin Santo from Ricasoli, on the other hand, is for lovers of aged sweet wine, with more pronounced typicity and aging (winemaking score 8.1), but it costs €49.41 for 75 cl. For everyday use or a small budget, Mortelle wins; for a dessert or a special occasion, Ricasoli justifies the price.
