Villa Campobello Il Santo Vin Santo 500ml

Il Santo is a Vin Santo bottled under the Villa Campobello name. Vin Santo, which translates as holy wine, is one of Italy's classic sweet wines and is most closely tied to Tuscany.

Traditionally, Vin Santo is made from white grapes that are dried after harvest to concentrate their sugars, then fermented and aged slowly in small barrels. That process gives the style its amber color and its flavors of dried fruit, nuts and honey. Il Santo comes in a 500ml bottle.

As a style, Vin Santo is meant for small glasses after dinner rather than a full pour with the meal.

Against Inniskillin Vidal Icewine, Il Santo costs a fraction of the price; for an everyday after-dinner glass with biscotti, choose Il Santo.

In Tuscany, Vin Santo is served with cantucci, the hard almond biscotti, for dipping. Serve it lightly chilled or at cool room temperature, in small glasses. It also pairs with almond cakes, dried fruit and aged hard cheeses.
