A true treasure, an ambrosia sent by the gods, which excites the senses with its taste, its legend, and the uniqueness of its birthplace, the inimitable Santorini.
Vinsanto (Vino di Santorini) has been renowned since the 12th century and is considered one of the best dessert wines in the world. Made from white grapes harvested late and dried in the sun, this traditional, naturally sweet wine is aged in oak barrels for at least two years, but usually much longer. Vinsanto has a protected designation of origin (PDO) and must be made from at least 51% Assyrtiko grapes.

Tasting Notes
Amber brown in color with orange highlights. The nose offers complex and exuberant aromas of dried fruit, butter, vanilla, honey, caramel, coffee, nuts, and spices. On the palate, the sweetness is balanced by naturally high acidity. This is a full-bodied, succulent wine with a persistent, endless finish. A pleasant tannic finish contributes to the overall balance of this wine.
