Vino Santo is a traditional Italian dessert wine, primarily produced in the regions of Tuscany and Trentino. It is made from grapes that are dried on straw mats or hung in well-ventilated areas, concentrating their sugars and flavors. The wine is typically sweet, with rich, complex flavors that can include notes of dried fruits, nuts, and honey. The production process of Vino Santo involves fermentation and aging in small wooden barrels, often for several years. This aging contributes to its unique character and depth. Vino Santo is commonly enjoyed with desserts, cheeses, or as a sipping wine, making it a cherished part of Italian culinary culture.
