Vin Santo del Chianti DOC "Villa da Filicaja" 1988

The grapes used to make Vin Santo del Chianti DOC were chosen bunch by bunch and harvested during a week at the end of the lunar cycle in autumn 1988. Great care was taken not to damage the berries, and they were then laid out immediately on racks to dry.

During a cold December day in 1988 the withered grapes (50% Trebbiano and 50% Malvasia) were destemmed and the must was placed in new oak barrels, which were then sealed until racking off.
