The Tasting
-
Appearance & Nose
01Borgo Scopeto's Chianti Classico presents a vibrant ruby red, hinting at the Sangiovese's youthful energy, with delicate floral notes of violet and wild cherry blossoming from the glass. Secondary aromas of sun-dried tomato and a whisper of earthy leather emerge, painting a complex picture of its Tuscan terroir.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this Chianti Classico offers a medium-bodied, well-structured experience with bright acidity that beautifully balances the ripe cherry and plum flavors. The tannins are present but refined, leading to a persistent, savory finish with a pleasant hint of minerality. This wine is an excellent companion to classic Florentine steak, hearty pappardelle with wild boar ragu, and aged Pecorino cheese. It also shines alongside roasted lamb with rosemary and a simple yet elegant dish of cacio e pepe.
