Description

The name Farnito is derived from a type of oak tree known as Farna found in the vicinity of the vineyards. Carpineto produces Farnito Vinsanto del Chianti in only the finest vintages. The aromatics are complex opening with jammy stone fruit notes followed by hints of walnut and subtle floral nuances. Malvasia and Trebbiano grapes are dried for a period of time prior to vinification in chestnut and oak barrels that lasts more than a decade, this dessert wine has a long, persistent finish defined by apricot, peach, and balsamic flavors.

Tasting Notes

Intense and complex, it is layered with aromas. The flavors are jammy, reminiscent of apricot and peach jam, and a bit balsamic. Nutty notes are present as well. The Finish is long with Taste-coating sweetness. The traditional dessert wine of Tuscany, Vinsanto was historically enjoyed at special occasions. Legend has it that it had healing properties, hence how it came to be known as “holy wine.”

Also excellent with pungent cheeses, such as Pecorino or Gorgonzola Piccante.
