Tosco's word
Frescobaldi's Vin Santo del Chianti DOC comes out ahead of the Toscana IGT, with a score of 7.1 against 6.9 and a better score for the producer's typicity and winemaking. It suits anyone looking for a sweet wine to pair with dolci secchi or aged cheeses, provided they accept the price of €70.46 per 75 cl. Gorgona's white IGT, on the other hand, will appeal more to anyone who wants a fresh wine for fish, but its value for money is weaker.
