The Tasting
A guided note in three moments, by our curators

Appearance & Nose
01This Chianti Classico Riserva presents a luminous ruby red hue, hinting at its age with subtle garnet reflections. Its bouquet is an intricate tapestry of dried cherry, violet, and a whisper of Tuscan garrigue, underscored by a refined leathery nuance.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, it unfolds with a vibrant acidity balanced by ripe plum and a savory earthiness, leading into a lingering finish of dark chocolate and a touch of bitter almond. The tannins are present yet supple, providing a pleasing structure that speaks of its Riserva designation.

At the Table
03This wine is a magnificent companion to grilled Bistecca alla Fiorentina, classic Pappardelle al Cinghiale, aged Pecorino Toscano cheese, or a hearty wild mushroom risotto. It also shines alongside slow-braised lamb shanks.
