Good with desserts(not markedly sweet) and pastry-dry .

The classic pairing for Vin Santo is biscotti, the dry, hard almond cookies of Tuscany, named “Cantuccini”. But a really good Vin Santo, should be served on its own. It’s the wine of hospitality and friendship . A good wine to sip slowly at every time, and think about the good things your life has to offer.
