The Tasting

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    A vibrant ruby red, hinting at youthful exuberance, unfurls with an inviting bouquet of wild cherry, dried violet, and a subtle whisper of Tuscan garrigue. The nose is classic Sangiovese, expressing its earthy minerality and a touch of balsamic complexity.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On the palate, this Chianti Classico delivers a dry, savory experience with firm, well-integrated tannins that provide a pleasing grip. The finish is long and persistent, echoing the fruit and mineral notes with a graceful, lingering acidity. This wine would be an exceptional companion to classic Florentine steak, handmade pappardelle with wild boar ragu, or a hearty lentil soup. It also shines alongside aged Pecorino Toscano cheese or a rustic platter of cured meats.
