Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this Chianti Classico offers a beautifully balanced profile with bright acidity and firm, yet refined, tannins that provide a pleasing structure. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a lingering sensation of ripe red fruit and a whisper of minerality. This wine is an excellent companion to classic Tuscan fare, such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, Pappardelle al Cinghiale, or a selection of aged Pecorino cheeses. It also shines alongside rustic dishes like Osso Buco or simple grilled lamb chops.
