Birra Santa

BirraSanta, the delicious rich barrel aged IGA from master brewers Birrifico del Forte.
This beer is inspired by the famous Tuscan Vin Santo, dessert wine.

The ageing of the IGA happens in wooden casks, that have already been used in producing Vin Santo. This allows it to ferment with residue of the famous wine.

It has a bronze brown color, smooth and without foam. The olfactory components tell about an aroma inclined to oxidative-liqueous characters; it evokes hints of bakery cake, amaretto, toffee, licorice and tobacco. Light notes of dried figs, raisins and delicate hints of balsamic vinegar.
On the palate it is soft and velvety, with a substantial body, a warm and sweet backbone that finds its balance with a delicately acidic finish.

It perfectly pairs strong flavors such as aged and blue cheeses, as well as surprisingly with desserts and pastries and of course it reaches its highest praise in meditation at the end of a rich meal.
