Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this Sangiovese delivers a captivating balance of bright acidity and ripe red fruit, leading to a dry and persistent finish that lingers with a touch of minerality. The tannins are present but elegantly integrated, offering a pleasing, mouth-coating sensation. This Chianti Classico is a superb companion to classic Florentine steak, slow-braised wild boar ragu, or a simple yet elegant plate of pici cacio e pepe. It also shines alongside aged Pecorino cheese or a rustic lentil soup.
