The Tasting

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    This Capotondo Chianti Classico presents a vibrant ruby red hue, hinting at its youthful energy and Sangiovese's characteristic intensity. Its bouquet is a captivating tapestry of wild cherry, ripe plum, and subtle floral notes of violet, interwoven with earthy undertones of dried herbs and a whisper of tobacco leaf.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On the palate, the wine offers a delightful balance of bright acidity and supple tannins, revealing flavors of dark berries, a touch of licorice, and a mineral backbone that speaks of its Tuscan terroir. The finish is elegantly persistent, leaving a lingering impression of sweet spice and a refined, dry character that invites another sip. This Chianti Classico is a superb companion to a variety of Tuscan classics, including Bistecca alla Fiorentina, pappardelle al cinghiale, and a hearty lentil soup. It also shines alongside aged Pecorino cheese or a simple yet flavorful roasted chicken.
