Tuscan Vinsanto… a wine whose origins are lost in the mists of time. Vinsanto in Tuscany is such an important wine full of meaning that it was difficult to buy, it was an ambition to make it at home with your own hands; in every family there was a person in charge of this art, usually the father or grandfather. The hypothesized origins of this exquisite drink, as well as those of its singular name are different and are lost in the mists of time. A Sienese legend says that in the 14th century a friar distributed a wine that healed the sick, hence the belief that it was a miraculous wine, "Santo". However, it cannot be excluded that the name "holy" derives from the use that has always been made of it during Mass.
