Vin Santo del Chianti
Wine · PDO · 73 municipalities
While sharing Tuscany’s amber dessert wine heritage, the Vin Santo del Chianti DOC is distinguished by its strict geographical boundary, which explicitly excludes the neighboring Vin Santo del Chianti Classico DOC zone. Spread across 73 municipalities, including Arezzo and Bucine, the base wine mandates a minimum of 70 percent Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia Bianca Lunga, aged in wood for at least 36 months. This denomination also permits a distinct Occhio di Pernice variant requiring a minimum of 50 percent Sangiovese. Standard pressings limit yields to 11.0 tonnes per hectare, yielding an intense, ethereal wine with a minimum alcohol level of 15.5 percent by volume.
