The Tasting
A guided note in three moments, by our curators
-
Appearance & Nose
01This Chianti Classico presents a vibrant ruby red hue, hinting at its youthful energy, and offers an enticing bouquet of ripe black cherry, wild violet, and a whisper of earthy garrigue. The nose is beautifully framed by subtle notes of sweet tobacco and a touch of exotic spice, characteristic of Sangiovese from this esteemed appellation.
-
Palate & Finish
02On the palate, the wine delivers a delightful interplay of juicy plum and tart raspberry, supported by fine-grained tannins that provide a pleasing structure and a lingering, savory finish. The acidity is bright and persistent, cleansing the palate with a refreshing minerality that speaks to its Tuscan terroir.

At the Table
03This Retromarcia Chianti Classico is a superb companion to classic Florentine steak, hearty wild boar ragù, or a platter of aged Pecorino cheese. It would also be an excellent choice for grilled lamb chops or a rustic mushroom risotto.
