The Tasting

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    L'Aura Chianti Classico from Querceto di Castellina presents a vibrant ruby-red hue, hinting at its youthful vigor and bright Sangiovese character. The nose unfolds with an enticing bouquet of ripe cherry, wild strawberry, and a subtle whisper of violet, underscored by an earthy, almost herbaceous nuance.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On the palate, this Chianti Classico delivers a beautifully balanced expression, showcasing its vibrant acidity and supple tannins that create a delightful mouthfeel. The flavors echo the nose, with a persistent cherry-stone minerality leading to a long, satisfying finish that lingers with an elegant dryness. This wine finds its perfect harmony alongside classic Tuscan fare such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragu with pappardelle, or a hearty lentil soup. It also shines with aged Pecorino cheese or a simple yet delicious plate of Prosciutto di Parma.
