The Tasting
-
Appearance & Nose
01This Chianti Classico Riserva presents a luminous ruby red hue, hinting at its youthful vigor, with delicate garnet undertones that speak of its aging potential. The nose is a captivating dance of ripe cherry and subtle notes of dried violet, interwoven with an earthy minerality and a whisper of Tuscan garrigue.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, it unfolds with a vibrant acidity that beautifully balances the rich, dark fruit flavors of plum and blackberry, leading to a long, lingering finish with a pleasant, firm tannic grip. The texture is smooth and elegant, showcasing the well-integrated oak that imparts a refined complexity without overpowering the Sangiovese's inherent character. This wine is a perfect companion to classic Florentine steak, hearty wild boar ragu, aged Pecorino cheese, or a rustic roasted lamb with rosemary. It also shines alongside traditional Tuscan bean soup or a platter of artisanal cured meats.
