Tenuta Baracchi's 2012 Vin Santo Passito is born on the hills of Cortona, Tuscany, where the Baracchi family continues a tradition that combines historical viticulture with a contemporary vision. This sweet wine, a symbol of Tuscan culture, is produced from selected grapes that are left to air-dry for a long time, then aged in small oak barrels that enrich its structure and complexity.
In the glass, it presents an intense and brilliant amber color, enriched with golden reflections.
On the nose, it releases rich and enveloping aromas of dried apricot, dried fig, honey, and candied fruit, accompanied by notes of vanilla, sweet spices, and a delicate oxidative hint that emphasizes its tradition.
On the palate, it is velvety and harmonious, with a full sweetness perfectly balanced by freshness and a slight savory vein. The finish is very long and persistent, with returning notes of dried fruit and honey.
A passito of great elegance and intensity, ideal with cantucci, dry pastries, and blue cheeses, but also perfect as a meditation wine, capable of telling the story and refinement of Tuscany in every sip.
