The Tasting

  1. Appearance & Nose

    01

    A vibrant ruby red with subtle garnet undertones, this Chianti Classico offers an immediate bouquet of ripe cherry and wild berry, layered with hints of dried herbs and a whisper of Tuscan earth. The nose is complex and inviting, revealing notes of violets and a touch of balsamic that speak to its Sangiovese soul.

  2. Palate & Finish

    02

    On the palate, it presents a well-structured body with firm, integrated tannins and bright acidity that dances across the tongue. The finish is long and persistent, echoing the fruit and savory notes from the nose with a pleasing, mineral-driven conclusion. This wine is a natural companion to traditional Tuscan fare, such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragu, or hearty lentil soup. It also excels alongside aged Pecorino cheese or grilled porcini mushrooms.
