【Italian Holy Wine (Sweet Wine)】
Vin Santo was used in the past to commemorate the mass, this ceremony is very sacred, so it is called holy wine! Vin Santo's brewing process is very unique. Put the whole bunch of fresh grapes picked in a warm and airy room, put it on the straw or hang it on the beam to let it dry naturally. Cassina Winery waits for 2-3 months to squeeze and ferment the grapes after losing moisture and concentrating the sugar. Afterwards, the wine needs to be aged in small wooden barrels (200Litre) for several years. These wooden barrels are called Caratelli. Just a few years of slow fermentation in the wooden barrel, so the alcohol level is particularly high, these two models are 15.5%, because they will be sealed with wax to prevent air from entering, the quality control skills need to be particularly high! In addition, in many DOC production areas, the legal age of the holy wine is not less than 3 years. The alcoholic ghost + wine father visits Fattoria La Castellina, and sees that the oak barrels filled with Vin Santo are placed in special In the high places (more than 3 floors are too high), when asked carefully, the temperature in the high places is lower. For Vin Santo, which will be aged for 3-4 years, it will be more stable!
