Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this Sangiovese offers a delightful balance of juicy acidity and fine-grained tannins, leading to a persistent finish. Flavors of red currant and a touch of balsamic complexity linger, creating an engaging and satisfying experience. This Chianti Classico is an exceptional companion for classic Tuscan dishes such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, Pappardelle al Cinghiale, and Pecorino cheese. It also shines alongside grilled lamb chops or a hearty Osso Buco.
