The Tasting

Appearance & Nose
01Fattoria di Petroio's Chianti Classico Riserva presents a luminous ruby-red hue, hinting at its youthful vibrancy, and its bouquet is an intricate dance of ripe cherry, wild raspberry, and a subtle whisper of dried violet. The nose is further enriched by earthy undertones of forest floor and a delicate touch of Tuscan herbs, characteristic of its Sangiovese soul.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this Riserva unfurls with a delightful balance of juicy acidity and refined tannins, offering notes of black plum, a hint of leather, and a lingering minerality. The finish is impressively long and elegant, echoing the fruit and spice with a satisfying persistence that speaks of its quality and provenance. This Chianti Classico Riserva is a sublime companion to Florentine steak, slow-cooked wild boar ragu, aged Pecorino cheese, or a classic pasta al pomodoro. It also shines alongside roasted lamb with rosemary and garlic, truly embodying the spirit of Tuscan cuisine.
