Crociani is a small, family-run winery based in the heart of Montepulciano, Tuscany. With roots dating back generations, they specialize in traditional styles that reflect the region’s long winemaking history
Vin Santo is the iconic Tuscan dessert wine made from choice white grapes of the Malvasia del Chianti and Pulcinculo (Grechetto Bianco) varieties, selected at harvest-time and laid out to dry in airy lofts until the beginning of February. The storing and ageing of the wine then takes place in small oak barrels for two years which impart flavours of sweet spice and vanilla to the finished wine.
It is amber in colour, the aroma is intense with notes of ripe fruit and it is broad, velvety and mouth-filling on the palate.
The most famous pairing is with cantucci (small biscotti), but the wine is great with strong hard or blue cheese and nut-based tarts like walnut or almond tart, Custards or crème brûlée.
