Description
What kind of wine it is
Santo Spirito by Frescobaldi is an elegant sweet Tuscan wine, created from a careful blend of Trebbiano and Malvasia Bianca grapes. In the glass, it displays an amber colour, lively and remarkably clear. The bouquet is intense, characterised by notes of honey, dried figs, raisins and hazelnut, enriched by a delicate hint of vanilla. On the palate, it is enveloping, with a rounded entry and a solid texture that leads to a persistent almond finish. A true meditation wine, ideal for ending a meal with great balance.
Where it comes from
Santo Spirito originates in Tuscany, reflecting the historic heritage of the Frescobaldi family, dedicated to viticulture since the 1300s. The vocation of the land gives this wine a pronounced aromatic intensity, typical of the great Italian sweet wines.
