The Tasting
A guided note in three moments, by our curators
-
Appearance & Nose
01Lornano's Chianti Classico Riserva presents a captivating ruby red with subtle garnet tinges, hinting at its aged potential. The nose is an intoxicating bouquet of ripe black cherry and plum, interwoven with fragrant notes of wild herbs, leather, and a whisper of Tuscan earth.
-
Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this Sangiovese offers a beautifully structured, dry profile, with firm yet elegant tannins that embrace the dark fruit flavors and a lingering finish of subtle spice and minerality. The wine's refined acidity provides a refreshing counterpoint, leading to a persistent and complex aftertaste.

At the Table
03This Riserva would be an exceptional companion to classic Tuscan dishes such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragu with pappardelle, or a hearty lamb stew. It also shines alongside aged Pecorino cheese or a simple yet flavorful mushroom risotto.
