The Tasting

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    A vibrant ruby red with a hint of garnet, this Chianti Classico offers an intense bouquet of ripe black cherry, wild strawberry, and a subtle undercurrent of toasted almond and earthy truffle. The nose is complex and inviting, showcasing the Sangiovese grape's characteristic floral notes of violet alongside a whisper of Mediterranean herbs.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On the palate, it is beautifully balanced with firm, fine-grained tannins and a bright, persistent acidity that awakens the senses. The finish is long and elegant, revealing layers of dark fruit, a touch of licorice, and a mineral salinity that lingers beautifully. This wine is a perfect companion for classic Tuscan dishes such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragu, or a hearty ribollita. It also excels alongside aged Pecorino cheese or a slow-roasted lamb shoulder.
