Curation Note

The Tasting

A guided note in three moments, by our curators

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    A deep ruby hue, hinting at its maturity, greets the eye, while the nose offers a compelling bouquet of dark cherry, dried plum, and a subtle whisper of leather and earthy truffle. This Chianti Classico Riserva displays an elegant complexity, with notes of toasted almond and a touch of bay leaf weaving through the fruit.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On the palate, it reveals a firm, yet supple tannic structure, leading to a vibrant acidity that balances the rich fruit flavors of blackberry and a lingering spice. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a refined impression of licorice and a dry, mineral undertone.

  3. At the Table

    03

    This wine is an exceptional companion for slow-cooked lamb ragu, wild boar cacciatore, aged Pecorino cheese, or a classic Florentine steak. It also shines alongside mushroom risotto or a hearty beef stew.
