Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this Chianti Classico offers a delightful balance of bright acidity and supple tannins, leading to a lingering finish of crushed raspberry and a hint of black pepper. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied and persistent, showcasing the Sangiovese grape's characteristic savory complexity. This wine would be an exceptional companion to classic Tuscan dishes like Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragu, or a hearty lentil soup. It also shines alongside aged Pecorino cheese or a simple plate of prosciutto and melon.
