Curation Note

The Tasting

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    This Chianti Classico presents a vibrant ruby red hue, hinting at its youthful energy. The nose is a captivating bouquet of wild cherry and violet, underscored by a subtle earthy minerality characteristic of Sangiovese from the heart of Tuscany.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On the palate, it offers a beautifully balanced expression with bright acidity and fine-grained tannins that provide a delightful textural grip. The finish is long and persistent, leaving lingering notes of dried plum and a whisper of balsamic. This wine would be an exceptional companion to a rustic wild boar ragu, grilled Florentine steak, or a platter of aged Pecorino Toscano cheese. It also shines alongside hearty lentil soup or a simple yet elegant pasta al pomodoro.
