The Tasting

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    This Chianti Classico presents a vibrant ruby red hue, hinting at its youthful energy, and offers an enticing bouquet of ripe cherry, wild violet, and a subtle whisper of earthy garrigue. The nose is captivatingly complex, showcasing the characteristic Sangiovese notes with an elegant restraint.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On the palate, it delivers a beautifully balanced acidity that cuts through the red fruit flavors of plum and a touch of sun-dried tomato, leading to a lingering finish with fine-grained tannins. The texture is silky and refined, with the wine's structure providing a pleasing persistence that echoes the initial aromatic impressions. This wine is a perfect companion for classic Tuscan fare such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragu with pappardelle, or a selection of aged Pecorino cheeses. It also shines alongside simple yet flavorful dishes like roasted chicken with herbs or a hearty lentil soup.
