Chianti Classico Riserva
The Tasting
-
Appearance & Nose
01A vibrant ruby red hue, deepening to garnet at the rim, immediately signals the Sangiovese's classic character. The nose unfolds with an intoxicating bouquet of ripe cherry, wild violet, and a subtle hint of Tuscan garrigue, underscored by notes of aged leather and a whisper of pipe tobacco.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this Chianti Classico Riserva delivers a beautifully balanced expression of dark fruit and earthy undertones, its firm, yet supple tannins providing a delightful structure. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a lingering impression of red berries, savory herbs, and a touch of minerality that speaks of its terroir. This wine is an ideal companion for robust, traditional Tuscan fare, such as a slow-cooked wild boar ragu, grilled Florentine steak with rosemary, or a rich pappardelle with porcini mushrooms. It also shines alongside aged pecorino cheese or a hearty lamb stew.
