White grapes drying in barn on small Tuscan vineyard in Italy Vin Santo is usually produced outside the DOC system. It is a sweet dessert wine made from grapes that have been left longer on the vines, then laid out on straw mats to partly dry. The best Vin Santo is a dark amber colour and has a rich, fruity apricot taste, but in the worst this is drowned by excessive sweetness. There is a huge variety of this wine in Tuscany since every farm may make some of its own. The traditional name of 'holy wine' is said to arise from a common priestly fondness for this wine. It is best drunk with the local sweet almond biscuits or the rich, nutty cake known as panforte da Siena.
