The Tasting

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    A vibrant ruby red, hinting at the sun-drenched Tuscan hills, this Chianti Classico Riserva unfurls with an intoxicating bouquet of ripe cherry, wild blackberry, and subtle notes of dried herbs and leather. The nose is complex and inviting, revealing layers of toasted almond and a whisper of violet that speak of its careful aging.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On the palate, it offers a beautifully balanced dry profile, with a firm yet graceful tannic structure that coats the tongue with a pleasing, lingering warmth. The finish is impressively long and savory, echoing the fruit and earthiness with a sophisticated elegance. This distinguished Riserva would be an exceptional companion to classic Tuscan dishes like Bistecca alla Fiorentina, rich wild boar ragu, or a hearty lamb stew. It also shines alongside aged Pecorino Toscano cheese or a simple yet flavorful grilled porchetta.
