Merlaia

Vin Santo del Chianti Doc

The traditional Vin Santo del Chianti with local varieties of Trebbiano e Malvasia form the vineyard of the same name. The wine has an amber yellow colour and a harmonious bouquet revealing notes of dried figs, candied fruit and honey; the excellent balance between acidity and sugar content gives it a harmonious and persuasive taste.
