Chianti ClassicoFounded in 1090, Dievole is one of Tuscany’s oldest estates, located in the heart of Chianti Classico and known for its long tradition of crafting elegant Sangiovese and historic sweet wines. Their Vin Santo follows the centuries-old Tuscan method of drying grapes for months in well-ventilated lofts, before a slow fermentation and extended ageing in small wooden barrels — a labour-intensive process that yields richness, complexity and longevity.
A rich, sweet Tuscan dessert wine with dried fruit, caramel, toasted nuts, and oxidative complexity from extended ageing. Despite its richness, lively acidity keeps the wine balanced and elegant rather than cloying.
