THE WINE

The Santon 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.

THE TASTING

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.

THE WINERY

Borgo San Daniele is a winery made up of people, two in particular, the Alessandra and Mauro Mauri (brother and sister). As children, Alessandra and Mauro spent a lot of time with their grandparents. The grandparents were farmers and winemakers and owned a small company where everyone did a bit of everything.  The time spent with the grandparents allowed Alessandra and Mauro to fall in love with farming and winemaking to the point that Alessandra undertook her studies as an agricultural expert and Mauro in oenology and viticulture… go to the winery page
