Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this Chianti Classico reveals a well-balanced structure with fine-grained tannins and bright acidity that carries notes of red plum, blackcurrant, and a touch of earthy minerality. The finish is persistent and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of dark fruit and a savory, almost savory, undertone. This versatile wine is an excellent companion to classic Tuscan fare, such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragu, or a hearty lentil soup. It also shines alongside roasted lamb with rosemary or a selection of aged Pecorino cheeses.
