DENOMINAZIONE DI ORIGINE CONTROLLATA
The name of this legendary wine comes from the term Xantos, which refers to the famous golden Passito wine from Santorini Island. This unique dessert wine is the result of the selection of Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes, gathered late in the harvest, and dried in the cellar to sustain the long ageing process. The oxidation gives up to the Vinsanto an incredible complexity, an ample bouquet, and a perfect balance between sweetness and freshness.
