Le Balze di Montefioralle Chianti Classico Riserva
The Tasting
A guided note in three moments, by our curators
-
Appearance & Nose
01A deep ruby red, hinting at its concentrated Sangiovese soul, this Chianti Classico Riserva offers an immediate embrace of ripe cherry and blackcurrant, woven with subtle threads of dried violet and a whisper of Tuscan garrigue. The nose is complex and inviting, revealing balsamic undertones and a touch of earthy graphite that speaks to its age and terroir.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, it presents a beautifully balanced structure, with firm, well-integrated tannins and vibrant acidity that carry the dark fruit and savory notes with impressive persistence. The finish is long and elegant, leaving a lingering impression of sun-drenched earth and a refined minerality that beckons another sip.

At the Table
03This wine is a perfect companion to classic Florentine steak, slow-braised lamb shanks, rich wild boar ragu, or a selection of aged Pecorino cheeses. It also shines alongside hearty mushroom risotto or grilled porcini mushrooms, celebrating the earthy essence of Tuscany.
