Appearance & Nose
01This Chianti Classico from Tenuta di Arceno presents a captivating ruby red hue, hinting at its vibrant youth and depth.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, the wine unfolds with a bright acidity and firm, yet refined, tannins that provide a delightful structure. The finish is long and persistent, echoing the fruit-driven aromatics with a pleasing minerality that lingers gracefully. This versatile Chianti Classico is a perfect companion for classic Tuscan dishes such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, pappardelle al cinghiale, or a hearty osso buco. It also shines alongside aged Pecorino cheese or simply enjoyed with a platter of cured meats.
