The Tasting
A guided note in three moments, by our curators
-
Appearance & Nose
01This Vallenuova Chianti Classico presents a vibrant ruby red hue with subtle garnet undertones, hinting at its Sangiovese heritage. The nose is an alluring bouquet of ripe cherry and wild strawberry, interwoven with earthy notes of dried herbs and a whisper of tobacco leaf.
-
Palate & Finish
02On the palate, it offers a medium-bodied, well-structured experience with bright acidity and firm, yet refined tannins that create a pleasing grip. The finish is persistent and savory, evolving from red fruit to a lingering minerality that cleanses the palate beautifully.

At the Table
03This classic Tuscan red shines alongside traditional Florentine steak, pappardelle with wild boar ragu, or a rustic selection of aged Pecorino cheese. It is also an excellent companion to slow-cooked lamb or a simple yet elegant mushroom risotto.
