The Tasting

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    This Chianti Classico Riserva presents a luminous ruby red hue, hinting at its underlying Sangiovese character with subtle garnet reflections that deepen with age. The nose is an intricate tapestry of ripe cherry and plum, interwoven with fragrant notes of dried herbs, earthy undertones, and a whisper of leather.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On the palate, the wine unfolds with a vibrant acidity and firm, yet refined, tannins that provide a sophisticated structure. Flavors of blackcurrant and a hint of tobacco dance across the tongue, leading to a long, persistent finish that echoes the wine's complex aromatic profile. This distinguished Riserva is exquisitely suited to accompany classic Tuscan fare such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, rich wild boar ragu, or aged Pecorino cheese. It also elevates hearty lamb dishes or a simple yet flavorful pasta al pomodoro.
