The Tasting
A guided note in three moments, by our curators
-
Appearance & Nose
01The Poggio Torselli Chianti Classico Riserva presents a captivating ruby red, deepening towards garnet with age, hinting at its Sangiovese soul. Its bouquet is an intricate tapestry of ripe cherry, wild plum, and earthy notes of tobacco leaf and a whisper of balsamic.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this Riserva unfolds with a vibrant acidity and firm, yet elegant, tannins that frame its core of dark fruit and savory undertones. The finish is remarkably persistent, leaving a lingering impression of dried herbs and a subtle, spicy warmth that speaks of its Tuscan origins.

At the Table
03This wine finds its perfect harmony with slow-cooked lamb ragu, Florentine steak grilled over coals, or aged Pecorino cheese. It also excels alongside rich mushroom risotto or as a contemplative companion to a simple plate of cured meats and crusty bread.
