Crafted from air-dried organic grapes (140 days on racks) at the historic Gaiole in Chianti estate, this elite Tuscan Vin Santo ferments slowly then ages ~6 years in small chestnut barrels underground. The 2009 vintage in half-bottle format—ideal for 2–3 servings—delivers profound botrytis-like complexity with mineral tension from the Ricasoli family's former monastery site.
