Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this Chianti Classico offers a firm, well-integrated tannic structure that balances beautifully with its bright acidity, leading to a persistent finish of dark fruit and a savory minerality. The mouthfeel is elegant and persistent, revealing layers of complexity that linger long after the last sip. This wine is an exceptional companion for traditional Tuscan fare such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragu, or rich pasta dishes with mushrooms. It also shines alongside aged Pecorino cheese or a simple yet flavorful grilled lamb.
