LEOPOLDO
CORTONA DOC Vin Santo
We just use Grechetto, Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes coming from a 60 years old vineyard to make our liquid gold. Vin Santo is made following an old recipe, by drying the “selected grapes”, and it has always been the symbol of the Tuscan tradition and hospitality: this sweet wine was offered as a welcome gift to foreigners but was also served to celebrate good times or at the end of a special meal during blessed events.
