Once again guys, nice write up on Vin Santo. This is a Marsala like wine elevated in a good way. Substitute Marsala with Vin Santo on Chiken Marasala and Veal Marsala recipes, mamma mia! My favorite is sauted wild mushrooms with Vin Santo, butter and parsley sauce, pure heaven.

Hey, Anna! We found this bottle of vin santo in a small grocery store somewhere in tuscany. Yes, it’s tuscan and bought in tuscany. and it cost about 6 or 7 euros!! i wish we brought a whole case home. but we did just find 2 bottles of imported vin santo in our wine store but they just arrived recently. it really is a beautiful tasting thing and i think i’m going to try one of the ones from the store to see what i think!

thanks for the comment – please stop by to see us again!

i left a reply already.
Just add the i could not get the vin santo in a bootle from tuscany while there, only bythe glass, that was in 2006.
on our way down to rome bought a bottle of vin santo for under 10 euros.
In australia the prices start as litle as $14.00, so i say what a bargain. i just hope the sainted wine of holy wine was imported from tuscany, which i’m pretty sure it was.
the best vin santo comes from the tuscany region.
to all my italian readers – saluti a tutti.
CIAO.

when i was in tuscany i could not get a bottle of vin santo, only by the glass, that was in 2006.
we were on our way down to rome, stopped off at a shop lke a seven-eleven and bought a bottle of vin santo for under 10 euros.
in australia the prices of vin santo start at $14.00, and they imported from italy – tuscany i hope.
they do have the best holy wine or i call it sainted wine.
to all my italian readers – saluti a tutti.

I’m a student in the US, but I just recently returned from studying in Tuscany. I’d never been a fan of wines before, but I absolutely fell in love with Vin Santo while there. I returned with a decently high quality bottle and have been savoring nips from it with dinner since then. As soon as I finish this bottle I will definitely be looking for another.

Great photos & wonderful post on Vin Santo. Honestly, I love it that you mention your wedding in Italy so often…. Your OWN wedding should be the favorite one you ever attending. Alfredo & I were married in Civita di Bagnoregio almost 10 years ago and we never get tired of talking about it….. The best part is that that is just the beginning – you have so many more adventures ahead.

We love Vin Santo and always bring a bottle back (along with Lemoncello) when we’re in Italy. Lovely photos!

Great post on vin santo! I’m going to run, not walk, to the store to see if I can find this. BTW, I could never understand why more people didn’t like viognier, gewurztraminer, albarino, and riesling. These are my favorite whites. Thanks for all the great info on this!
