Vin Santo di Carmignano DOC Riserva
.
It is produced in small quantities from Trebbiano and San Colombano grapes, chosen from the ripest vines registered in the Carmignano Register and left to dry on mats until February, according to the traditional method.
The must is then placed in kegs for about seven years.
The yield is very low: 1/4 to 1/5 of the original weight of the grapes.
After bottling, the Vinsanto can be aged without time limit, still gaining in richness and aroma.
