It is a precious wine to be offered on special occasions in order to demonstrate affection, friendship and hospitality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the most famous wines in Italian enologo, vinsanto has distant origins in myths and legends. It is said that in 1348, when the population was flogged by the plague, a Francisca friar used the wine , usually used during the homily , <\/span><b>to treat the plague victims<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Thus the belief that it had miraculous therapeutic properties spread , hence the name of \u201csaint\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another legend tells of Giovanni Bessarione who, during the <\/span><b>council of Florence in 1439<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, while he was drinking the \u201c vin pretto\u201d &#8211; pure wine- exclaimed : This is the wine of Xantos &#8211; the passito wine of Santorini, referring to the Greek island where the wine was produced from dried grapes, but his guests confused the term \u201cXantos\u201dwith \u201cSantos\u201d, thinking that Bessarione meant that that wine led to eternal salvation. In fact, most likely,the origin of the name is due to the fact that it\u00a0 was used in the celebration of the catholic mass.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This wine has played an important and prestigious role in the Tuscan and Valdarno tradition since the Middle Ages. It is Produced according to tradition with techniques and devices handed down orally over time, from father to son, as the most precious inheritance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also in Valdarno, in accordance with the ancient traditions of the winemakers an excellent vinsanto is produced : it is obtained from <\/span><b>Trebbiano<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>Malvasia <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">grapes, which were traditionally dried in mats of reeds or hanging them on hooks. Once withered they were crushed with the\u00a0 \u201c strettoio\u201d and the must was transferred in barrels called \u201c caratelli &#8221; with The \u201c mother\u201d. The sealed caratelli were placed in the cellar for a minimum of <\/span><b>three years<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or, in the attic as it was believed that the strong temperature ranges helped fermentation. Today several wineries produce high quality types of vinsanto.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Vinsanto comes from the best bunches of Trebbiano and Malvasia, but also from <\/span><b>Canaiolo, Pinot, Sauvignon <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><b>Chardonnay<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, worked with care by skilled hands particularly suitable to accompany desserts or aged cheeses. Amber coloured , amiable or dry it is one of the most beloved products of this land.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caressing, enveloping and deliciously fragrant, the Vinsanto \u00a0( or vino Santo) also known as a wine of friendship, embodies the welcoming hospitality typical of the Valdarno.
