Vin Santo del Chianti 2005 - Fattoria Dreolino - 0.50 ml.
A dessert wine, with a very deep yellow colour, the nose is rich and complex. The grapes which are used to make our Vin Santo are selected with the greatest of care, and are then manually placed on trellises to dry until the end of December, when they are pressed. The grape must is poured into traditional barriques, with a capacity of between one and five litres, where it undergoes the long, slow fermentation process for the next five years. It is then gently filtered and subsequently bottled.
Grape Varietals: Trebbiano and Malvasia
Alcohol by volume: 16%
Fattoria Dreolino
|
Fattoria Dreolino The Dreolino Winery was founded back in 1939 by Gino Tanini. The rather unusual name ‘Dreolino’ is a diminutive form of Andrea, the name of Gino’s father, who was known locally in his day as Drea. When Gino was born, to indicate the little baby’s lineage, the villagers started to call him Dreolino, or ‘little Drea’. The Dreolino brand started out on the path to success from its base in the very heart of Rufina. The turning point came in 1967 with the entry into the company of Gino’s son, Raffaello. He purchased the plots outright and designed and constructed the modern new facility - still in use today - where all the barrel-ageing, automatic-bottling and bottle-ageing of our wines is carried out, allowing us to ensure the highest standards of quality-control are applied to all aspects of the production process. Since then, the company has continued to modernise, winning ever-larger market-shares all over the world. |
