What are meditation wines?

What meditation wines are is said by the word itself: these are wines that are particularly structured and complex and require time and calm to be appreciated; they are wines to be savoured slowly, to which you should dedicate the right time and attention.

For this reason meditation wines differ from table wines and aged wines: meditation wines can be enjoyed alone, not necessarily paired with a dish or food.

Among the wines of the Leonardo da Vinci Cellars collections you can choose a meditation wine par excellence: Vin Santo. Produced from Trebbiano grapes hand-picked in a small hilly area of Vinci, the Vin Santo Villa da Vinci has an intense amber colour, releases aromas of dried fruit, figs, almonds and honey; rich and velvety on the palate, it is sweet and well-balanced by a good acidity.

A red meditation wine is then the Brunello di Montalcino from the I Capolavori Collection, which lets itself be discovered slowly in its intense fruity notes of blackberries, black currant and cherries. Also in I Capolavori, the Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is considered a meditation wine for its formidable sensory qualities: on the nose it presents an ethereal, intense and persistent bouquet with pronounced notes of ripe cherry and plum, perception of vanilla, chocolate, spices and coffee, due to the long wood maturation and bottle aging.
