This Vin Santo Riserva is made only with the best grapes, left over riping on the vines and then dried for three months in boxes before they are turned into wine and aged in barriques for more than 10 years. The result is a dessert wine with a golden colour, rich, generous and with a nose with aromas of honey, walnuts and dried fruit amongst others. Well structured, smooth and velvety, pleasantly sweet and with a long ending. The Vin Santo is probably the most known Italian dessert wines and La Casaccia's is a superb example.
