Santon Bianco – agricultural vermouth – Borgo San Daniele

The Santon Bianco

The Santon Bianco is the first agricultural vermouth of Friuli Venezia Giulia and is produced by the Borgo San Daniele winery in Cormons. The winery has decided to use a recipe of Austro-Hungarian origins dating back to the early ‘900s.

THE WINEMAKING

It is an infusion of 30 different herbs that are divided into, officinal, spontaneous and aromatic spices (as indicated on the label with the number 30); these are herbs present in the winery soils and are infused for a long time with unfiltered white wine. A long refinement follows that aligns with the rhythm of the seasons.

Tasting the wine of Borgo San Daniele winery

Golden yellow, slightly amber. The aroma is intense with light fruity hints that leave room for intense spicy noters due to the aromatic herbs. Pleasantly bitter on the palate, with a perfect correspondence between aromas and flavor. Persistent.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Meditation vermouth, it should be tasted straight after a meal.
