In the glass, it displays a bright golden yellow colour with warm amber highlights. The bouquet is layered and intense, with clear notes of raisins, figs, dried plums and honey, enriched by spicy hints of vanilla and nutmeg. On the palate, it reveals a \u003cstrong\u003edense and velvety structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, enveloping and pleasantly warm. The flavour balance is ensured by a lively acidity that counterbalances the sweetness, leading to a very persistent finish marked by \u003cstrong\u003etoasted hazelnut notes\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe identity of this wine is rooted in the \u003cstrong\u003eTuscan rural culture\u003c\/strong\u003e and the agricultural landscape surrounding Florence. Produced by Frescobaldi, a historic estate present in the area since the 1300s, it bears a name that celebrates ancient local traditions and the connection with the noble residences of the region. The local terroir gives the grapes the optimal combination of freshness and sugar concentration, essential elements to support the \u003cstrong\u003edelicate drying process\u003c\/strong\u003e. This careful selection of fruit guarantees the pronounced \u003cstrong\u003elongevity\u003c\/strong\u003e that defines the character of Vin Santo del Chianti.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking process begins with the \u003cstrong\u003enatural drying of the grapes\u003c\/strong\u003e, a fundamental step to concentrate matter and aromas. The must then undergoes malolactic fermentation and \u003cstrong\u003eages for four years\u003c\/strong\u003e in small oak barrels. This slow maturation shapes the wine’s texture and enhances its aromatic complexity. Best served in large glasses, it is an excellent meditation wine. At the table, it creates an ideal harmony with dry pastries, such as traditional cantucci, and perfectly enhances the bold flavours of \u003cstrong\u003eblue and spicy cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name \u003cstrong\u003eQuaranta Altari\u003c\/strong\u003e celebrates the deep connection between the Tuscan rural heritage and the production of sweet wines from noble estates. Created by the Marchesi Frescobaldi, whose Florentine tradition dates back to the 1300s, this Vin Santo del Chianti DOC is born from the patient \u003cstrong\u003enatural drying\u003c\/strong\u003e of the grapes. The slow maturation over four years in traditional \u003cstrong\u003eoak casks\u003c\/strong\u003e, overseen by oenologist Nicolò D’Afflitto, gives rise to a long-lived nectar that encapsulates in every glass the authentic hospitality and centuries-old winemaking history of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Marchesi Frescobaldi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46224673669291,"sku":"60506","price":28.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/frescobaldi-vin-santo-del-chianti-quaranta-altari-2022_60506_1_6f1989f8-85fb-4a2f-9371-06acd339f629.webp?v=1773811783","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-dk\/products\/frescobaldi-vin-santo-del-chianti-quaranta-altari-2022","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
