The Tasting
-
Appearance & Nose
01A vibrant ruby red hue, hinting at youthful energy, immediately captivates the eye, while the nose unfolds with an enticing bouquet of ripe cherry, wild violet, and a subtle whisper of earthy garrigue. Secondary notes of leather and a touch of toasted almond emerge, characteristic of well-aged Sangiovese.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this Chianti Classico presents a beautifully balanced acidity, framing a core of dark plum and red currant fruit with a satisfyingly firm, yet supple, tannic structure. The finish is long and persistent, leaving behind a lingering sensation of dried herbs and a mineral complexity that speaks of its Tuscan terroir. This wine is an exquisite companion to classic Tuscan fare, such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina or Pappardelle al Cinghiale, and also shines alongside robust lamb dishes or aged Pecorino cheese. It is equally delightful enjoyed simply with a plate of cured meats and olives.
