According to the Tuscan tradition, Fanti has always produced Vin Santo according to the family’s centuries-old recipe: over three months of drying the grapes (Trebbiano, Malvasia and San Colombano) and six years of aging in “caratelli”.
As Filippo says: “From a berry, only a drop of Vin Santo.”
Hand-harvested from selected bunches and ripe grapes in mid-September. The grapes are hung in vertical nets to dry for 4-6 months as they develop a high concentration of sugar.
