Poderi del Paradiso VinSanto San Gimignano 2020
Vin Santo DOC Poderi del Paradiso is one of the favourite Italian dessert wines! This Vin Santo is made in a beautiful San Giminiano area in Tuscany and of 92% Trebbiano and 8% Malvasia grapes.
The wine expresses apricot and floral notes with a hint of honey on the nose. Much the same on the palate, with balanced sweetness and long finish. This Italian sweet wine has an elegant, well-balanced flavour with notes of almond and dried flowers.
The wine matches perfectly with desserts, sweets and traditional Cantucci (almond biscuits). Vinification: drying the grapes until December and ageing for at least 4 years in oak casks of 100 litres.

About the winery
Poderi del Paradiso, owned by the Cetti family since the 13th century, is an amphitheatre of vineyards at the base of the medieval Tuscan town of San Gimignano, known for its skyscraper-like towers built during the Renaissance.
Here the Cetti family farms about 30 hectares of vines, and with the help of renowned winemaker Paolo Caciorgna, the winery produces about 115 000 bottles per year.
The main wines produced include Vernaccia, Chianti Colli Senesi, Bordelais blends of Sangiovese, Cabernet, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, and a dessert wine Vin Santo.
The Cetti family also operates a gorgeous agriturismo on the property if you ever plan to travel to Tuscany.
