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 offering an immediate bouquet of ripe cherry, wild strawberry, and a subtle undercurrent of dried violets and earthy garrigue. Its aromatic complexity unfolds with notes of sweet tobacco and a whisper of balsamic, characteristic of a well-aged Sangiovese.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, the wine is beautifully structured with firm, yet elegant, tannins that provide a pleasing grip, leading into a long, lingering finish that echoes the initial fruit and floral notes with a touch of minerality. The bright acidity cuts through the palate, leaving a refreshing and savory impression that invites another sip.
