Vin Santo Occhio di Pernice

by VillaExperience July 6, 2024

written by VillaExperience

Vin Santo Occhio di Pernice

The Vin Santo di Montepulciano is a dessert wine with a unique character and extraordinary aromatic complexity that deserves to be discovered.
Made with meticulous care in the renowned Val di Chiana region, this amazing wine is made from 100 percent dried Sangiovese grapes.
On tasting, it reveals itself with a refined bouquet of plums, dates, Christmas spices and smoky hazelnut accents.
Perfect for moments of meditation or paired with dry pastries, it will offer you an unforgettable sensory experience and an extraordinarily long retro-olfactory persistence.

Features

Bouquets and Aromas

The Vin Santo of Montepulciano Occhio di Pernice by Avignonesi reveals a complex and enveloping bouquet with aromas of plums and dates, propolis, gingerbread, malaga and tobacco.
These scents intertwine harmoniously, offering an olfactory depth that enchants the senses with every sip.

Taste and Palate

In the mouth, Vin Santo di Montepulciano is sweet and spicy, with the aromatic notes returning and expanding with nuances of dried apricot and smoked hazelnut, accompanied by delicate Christmas spices.
The retro-olfactory persistence is incredibly long, making each tasting an unforgettable experience.
This wine surprises with every sip with its concentration and depth.
Made from 100% Sangiovese grapes, Vin Santo has undergone a long aging process that gives it a unique character.
Interaction with the mother, an indigenous yeast over 100 years old, during aging in oak barrels for 10 years adds additional layers of complexity to your palate.
Perfect as a meditation wine, it also pairs beautifully with dry pastries such as Cantucci Toscani or chocolate.

Vin Santo Occhio di Pernice Production

Region and Territory

Vin Santo di Montepulciano originates in the picturesque Val di Chiana area, where the producer Avignonesi stretches between Montepulciano and Cortona.
This region, located in the province of Arezzo, is renowned for its rich diversity of soils, which allow the cultivation of grape varieties such as Merlot, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, in addition to Sangiovese, used for this fine wine.
Here, terroir contributes significantly to the complexity and depth of Vin Santo.

Vinification Process

The production of Vin Santo di Montepulciano by Avignonesi is an art that requires dedication and patience.
The wine is made from 100 percent Sangiovese grapes, selected with the utmost care.
After harvest, the grapes are dried for many months on bamboo mats, a traditional method that further concentrates the flavors and aromas.
The long winemaking process continues with 10 years of aging in oak barrels.
During this time, more than half of the liquid evaporates, giving the wine an extraordinary concentration.
Contact with the mother yeast, which is over 100 years old, further enriches the wine’s profile.
Each 375 ml bottle requires an amount of grapes that would be sufficient to produce twenty-four 750 ml bottles of wine, highlighting the exclusivity and rarity of this Vin Santo.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Avignonesi’s Occhio di Pernice Vin Santo di Montepulciano DOC is perfect as a meditation wine, but it also pairs beautifully with dry pastries.
Try it with traditional Cantucci Toscani or chocolate for an unforgettable dining experience.
The sweet and spicy notes of the wine marry harmoniously with the complexity of these desserts, creating a rich and satisfying contrast for the palate.

Meditation and relaxation

This Vin Santo is ideal for moments of meditation and relaxation.
Its complexity and depth make each sip a unique experience, inviting you to stop and fully enjoy its enveloping bouquet and lingering aromatic notes.
It is a wine that demands attention and reflection, perfect for a quiet evening.
Preparing a serene setting, perhaps accompanied by soft music or a good book, will enhance the taste experience of this wonderful wine.
The concentration and richness of the flavors will transport you on a unique sensory journey, making every moment of tasting a meditative and relaxing experience.
This wine is truly an outlier, capable of surprising you with every sip.

occhio di pernice

Conclusion on Vin Santo Occhio di Pernice.

The Vin Santo di Montepulciano from the Avignonesi winery is an extraordinary dessert wine that surprises with every sip for its concentration and depth.
Made from 100% Sangiovese grapes, it impresses with its complex, enveloping bouquet and incredibly long retro-olfactory persistence.

Dormire in un Castello nel Chianti

by VillaExperience June 11, 2024

written by VillaExperience

Sleeping in a Castle in Chianti

Sleeping in a castle in Chianti is an experience that transforms a simple stay into a precious memory. Imagine being immersed in the heart of Tuscany, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, and stepping through the threshold of Montegufoni Castle, where every stone tells a story. This place, enveloped in a magical atmosphere filled with centuries of history, offers a welcome that blends the charm of the past with modern comforts. A unique experience that allows you to live like nobility for a few days, discovering the most authentic and romantic side of Chianti.

The History of the Castle

Medieval Origins

The roots of Montegufoni Castle trace back to the Middle Ages when it was built as a fortress to protect the region from barbarian raids. Built on top of a hill with panoramic views of the Chianti vineyards, the castle represented a symbol of power and defense.

Renaissance Rebirth

During the Renaissance, Montegufoni Castle underwent an extraordinary transformation. It became not only a noble residence but also a crossroads for intellectuals and artists, attracted by the magnificence of the place and the vibrant cultural atmosphere of Tuscany.

In the Renaissance period, the castle was expanded and enriched with frescoes and fine furniture. The noble families that resided there commissioned artworks from renowned masters of the time, making the castle a living museum of the Renaissance. Walking through its halls, one can still feel the echoes of a time when cultures and arts intertwined in unparalleled harmony.

Arrival and First Impressions

Winding Roads and Rolling Hills

Arriving in the heart of Chianti is a journey as picturesque as it is exciting. The roads wind through well-maintained vineyards and rolling hills that seem to unfold like a green carpet.
