The Tasting

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    This Chianti Classico presents a vibrant ruby red hue, hinting at the Sangiovese's youthful energy, with delicate ruby reflections that speak of its Tuscan origins. The nose is an intoxicating bouquet of ripe cherries and wild berries, interwoven with subtle notes of violet, earthy undertones, and a whisper of Mediterranean herbs.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On the palate, the wine unfolds with a delightful balance of bright acidity and supple tannins, offering a savory complexity that mirrors its aromatic profile. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a lingering impression of dark fruit and a classic, elegant minerality. This versatile Chianti Classico is an ideal companion for traditional Tuscan dishes such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragu, or hearty lentil soup. It also shines alongside aged pecorino cheese or a simple yet flavorful pasta al pomodoro.
