The Tasting
-
Appearance & Nose
01Fattoria di Rodano's Chianti Classico presents a vibrant ruby red hue, hinting at its youthful vigor, and offers an enticing bouquet of wild cherry, violet, and a subtle earthy undertone characteristic of Sangiovese. The nose is further complexed by whispers of dried herbs and a touch of leather, inviting deeper exploration.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this Chianti Classico delivers a firm, yet elegant structure with bright acidity that perfectly balances the red fruit flavors of cranberry and plum. The tannins are present but refined, leading to a lingering finish that echoes the initial fruity and savory notes. This wine would be an exceptional companion to classic Tuscan fare such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragu, or a hearty lentil soup. It also shines alongside aged Pecorino cheese or a simple yet delicious pasta al pomodoro.
