Vin Santo (Italian: [vin ˈsanto]; lit. ' Holy Wine ' ) is a style of Italian dessert wine . Traditional in Tuscany , these wines are often made from white grape varieties such as Trebbiano and Malvasia , although Sangiovese may be used to produce a rosé style known as "Occhio di Pernice" or eye of the partridge .
In Italy, they are known as cantucci, biscotti di Prato or biscotti etruschi and may be dipped in a drink, traditionally Vin Santo. Smaller biscotti may be known as biscottini [2] or cantuccini. [3] In Italian, the word biscotti (sg.: biscotto) encompasses all types of biscuits or cookies.
They are fermented in small cigar-shaped barrels called caratelli, and then aged in the caratelli for up to ten years in the roof of the winery. The wine develops a deep golden or amber color, and a sweet, often nutty, taste. Vin Santo is often served as 'Cantucci e Vin Santo', with almond or hazelnut biscuits which are then dipped in the wine.
These wines include Vin Santo (into which almond biscuits, 'cantucci', are traditionally dunked), Sciachetrà, Recioto di Soave (drunk with the local version of panettone) and the sweet red Recioto della Valpolicella (which stands up to chocolate better than most wine).
