1999 Vin Santo Tegrino, Cantine Leonardo da Vinci

Tuscan Amber Hour

A mature Vin Santo with all the slow, golden charm of Tuscany in a glass. Deep amber and beautifully evolved, it opens with dried fig, raisin, apricot and candied orange, then moves into almond, honey, caramel, toasted hazelnut and a savoury flicker of old wood. Sweet, rich and velvety, but lifted by enough freshness to keep it graceful, this is a wine for lingering over rather than simply serving.

For when
You want a rare, contemplative bottle for the end of a meal.

Pairs with
Cantucci, almond biscotti, panforte, blue cheese, aged pecorino, fig tart, crème caramel or roasted nuts.

Cantine Leonardo da Vinci was founded in Vinci in 1961, when a group of local growers joined together to create a cooperative rooted in Tuscan identity. Today it brings together more than 200 growers, carrying the name of Leonardo’s birthplace into wines that speak of tradition, community and the quiet generosity of the Tuscan hills.
