The Tasting
A guided note in three moments, by our curators
-
Appearance & Nose
01The Levigne Chianti Classico Riserva presents a luminous ruby red hue, hinting at its youthful vigor, and releases an intoxicating bouquet of dark cherry, wild violet, and a whisper of earthy truffle. Subtle notes of dried herbs and a hint of toasted almond emerge with aeration, characteristic of its Sangiovese soul and careful aging.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this Riserva unfolds with a vibrant acidity that beautifully balances its ripe red fruit flavors and a refined, persistent tannin structure. The finish is long and elegant, leaving a lingering impression of savory spice and a pleasant, almost mineral, dryness that speaks to its Tuscan terroir.

At the Table
03This wine is an exquisite companion for classic Florentine steak, slow-braised lamb shanks with rosemary, handmade pappardelle with wild boar ragù, or a selection of aged Pecorino cheeses. It also shines alongside grilled porchetta or a rich mushroom risotto.
