Felsina Vin Santo is a dessert wine produced by the renowned Felsina winery in Castelnuovo Berardenga, located in the heart of the Chianti Classico region in Tuscany, Italy. This golden yellow nectar is an ode to the age-old tradition of Vin Santo making and represents the pure essence of Tuscan viticulture.
Felsina Vin Santo is produced using the appassimento technique. Selected grapes, mainly Trebbiano Bianco and Malvasia Bianca, are placed on special mats to dry after harvest. During this process, the sugars in the grapes concentrate, resulting in a richer and more complex wine. The dried grapes are then pressed and fermented in small wooden barrels, where the wine ages for years.
The Felsina Vin Santo has a bright golden yellow color with amber reflections. The nose is an explosion of aromas, with honey, dried apricots, figs, dates, roasted almonds, citrus fruit and floral accents. On the palate the wine is rich, concentrated and sweet, with a perfectly balanced acidity that provides a fresh finish. The flavors of dried fruit and honey linger for a long time in the mouth.
Felsina Vin Santo is a noble Tuscan sweet wine that goes perfectly with a range of delicious desserts. This refined wine, with its intense aromas of dried fruit, honey and nuts, makes a wonderful addition to classic Italian sweets such as cantuccini, panettone and ricotta tart. The rich and silky texture of the Vin Santo forms a harmonious contrast with the crispiness of the cantuccini or the creaminess of the ricotta tart, making every bite an unforgettable taste experience. Whether it's a festive dinner or an intimate gathering, the Felsina Vin Santo is a reliable choice to take any sweet treat to the next level.

It was 1966 when Domenico Poggiali Fèlsina took a bold leap and bought the Felsina estate at a time when Italian viticulture was struggling. He chose to invest in the quality of the wine and the expertise of a young team. Their passion for wine combined with a commercial spirit resulted in a modern business plan, without however giving up the spirit of tradition. In a few years, the vineyards grew to more than forty hectares, and the soul and organization of the company also changed.
In the second half of the 1970s, Giuseppe Mazzocolin joined the family business. His studies in humanities, his wealth of contacts, his heightened work ethic and his respect for the Tuscan and Italian culture are the basis for the growth of the Fèlsina winery and pave the way for the beginning of their international recognition. Their friendship with Luigi Veronelli and collaboration with oenologist Franco Bernabei formed a development strategy that has proven to be extremely coherent.
