Italian Dessert Wine

In Italy, the generic name for these wines is passito. The method of production is called rasinate (to dry and shrivel). Many famous passitos, including Vin Santo, come from Tuscany, but other important areas include Alto Adige and Friuli. These Italian Dessert wines are made from hand-picked grapes that are hung from the rafters to dry. They are fermented in small barrels , and then aged for up to ten years in the roof of the winery. The wine develops a deep golden colour, and a sweet smooth taste. The perfect companion to the the end of any great meal.

Italian Dessert Wine

An unique collection of Tuscan wines

Fèlsina, which straddles the confines of the Chianti Classico appellation, represents, from a geological viewpoint, a “frontier land,” also encompassing the heath clay of the Crete Senesi, not far off in the direction of Montalcino and the Maremma, down to the sea. The territory of Felsina also extends from Berardenga to the wide basin of Siena.
