Palate & Finish
02On the palate, this Sangiovese offers a delightful balance of bright acidity and soft, approachable tannins, leading to a satisfyingly lingering finish. The flavors echo the nose, with a persistent red fruit character that evolves into a hint of spice. This Chianti Classico is a superb companion to rustic Tuscan fare like Bistecca alla Fiorentina, hearty Pappardelle al Cinghiale, or a simple yet elegant plate of Pecorino Toscano cheese. It also shines alongside grilled lamb chops or a classic Spaghetti al Pomodoro.
