Vino Santo Trentino 2005 - 12% vol. Cantina Toblino

Description: 
A bright amber color. On the nose, Vino Santo offers an extraordinarily complex and elegant fragrant bouquet, with hints of peach and overripe apricot, jams and honey. On the palate, it is pleasantly sweet and round, with great persistence and an important acidity that balances perfectly with the residual sugar to create a harmonious and never cloying combination. 

Grape variety: 
Nosiola - Trentino DOC. 
Nosiola is the only native white grape variety of Trentino, used to produce dry white wines and the sought after "Passito dei Passiti", or the Vino Santo Trentino DOC. 

Production area: 
From the most suitable vineyards in the Valle dei Laghi, where a very favorable microclimate meets the best exposed, dry and gravel-rich soils. Only a tenth of the vineyards in Nosiola are suitable for the production of the grapes used to produce the Vino Santo Trentino DOC. 

Vinification: 
The pressing traditionally takes place during Holy Week, after one of the longest drying in the world which lasts for almost 6 months, thus obtaining the precious must of the Vino Santo with almost infinitesimal yields. Subsequently, fermentation starts in small French oak barrels which lasts for over 2 years, gradually reducing the sugar concentration. The Vino Santo continues its long aging in the same small French oak barrels where it rests for over 10 years, ending its long maturation with over a year in the bottle. 

Food Pairing: 
To be served preferably at a temperature of 8-10 ° C in small tulip glasses. Vino Santo is a meditation wine, to be enjoyed slowly to fully grasp every nuance. By contrast, it is able to enhance the noble taste of some moldy cheeses such as Gorgonzola, Stilton, Bleu d’Auvergne, Roquefort or Cavras, in which the molds of dairy products delicately harmonize with the wine created by noble rot. Try it with Foie Gras. It goes perfectly with traditional Trentino dry pastries, for example with fregolotti cake, strudel and biscuits. 

Serving temperature: 
8 - 10°C. 

Ageing potential: 
More than 20 years. Vino Santo can age in the bottle for many decades, becoming one of the most durable wines, capable of offering great satisfaction and pleasantness even 50 years after the harvest. 

Bottle size: 
500 ml - 50 cl - 0.5 lt. 

Allergens: 
Wine can cotain sulphites.

Toblino Winery 
In 1960, a group of passionate winemakers from the Valle dei Laghi decided to join forces to confront an increasingly competitive reality. From that moment, the link between social cooperation, people and territory remains essential. Over time, Cantina Toblino has become the reference point for viticulture in the Valle dei Laghi: our vineyards have become a real open-air laboratory, where viticultural and oenological research and innovation daily lead to the achievement of new quality standards. 
On the one hand, the agricultural company Toblino Srl, which cultivates under organic control the approximately 40 hectares of the ancient bishop’s properties, on the other, Cantina Toblino, which receives the grapes from more than 600 winegrowers for a total of over 850 hectares of vineyards.
