The Tasting
A guided note in three moments, by our curators
-
Appearance & Nose
01A vibrant ruby red, hinting at its youth and vitality, this Chianti Classico greets the nose with an alluring bouquet of wild cherry, earthy undertones, and a whisper of violets. The Sangiovese grape's characteristic bright acidity is evident even in its aroma, promising a lively and engaging experience.
-
Palate & Finish
02On the palate, it delivers a beautifully balanced expression of dark fruit, with a firm yet supple tannic structure that coats the tongue. The finish is long and persistent, echoing the initial cherry notes with a subtle, almost mineral salinity that invites another sip.

At the Table
03This Istine Vigna Casanova Chianti Classico is an ideal companion for classic Tuscan fare such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, Pappardelle al Cinghiale, or a simple yet satisfying plate of Pecorino Toscano cheese. It also shines alongside grilled lamb chops or a hearty mushroom risotto.
