2001 Vinsanto del Chianti Classico DOC

One of the most well-known Italian dessert wines from an excellent producer. This historic Tuscan estate has been producing wine for over 600 years and was the childhood home of the famous Monna Lisa.

A gorgeous example of this traditional wine.

Each bottle is presented in its own attractive card case (see right of picture above), making it an ideal gift.

Winemaking Notes
