Ejià

Ejià is our Vin Santo del Chianti DOC, Occhio di Pernice. This is a rare Vin Santo being made almost entirely with Sangiovese grapes.

Ejià, our Vin Santo del Chianti DOC, Occhio di Pernice, is a wine with a golden caramel color, incredible lush sweetness, intensely aromatic flavors, and a long velvety finish. This desert wine is so delicious that one is almost reluctant to dip into it the traditional Tuscan biscotti.

Out of stock.

About the label

Eye of the Partridge

Ejià being a rare desert wine, an Occhio di Pernice, which translates into English as the “eye of the partridge”, we chose a representation of a bird with a caramel-colored eye to illustrate and present this unique Vin Santo. Well maybe with a little artistic liberty…
