Palate & Finish
02On the palate, the wine displays a beautiful balance of fruit and acidity, with firm yet supple tannins that provide a pleasing structure and a lingering finish of dark fruit and a hint of balsamic. The texture is smooth and refined, leading to a persistent and elegant conclusion that speaks of its careful aging. This Chianti Classico Riserva is a superb accompaniment to roasted game, grilled Florentine steak, hearty pasta dishes with rich ragù, and aged Pecorino cheese. It also shines alongside traditional Tuscan stews and braised lamb shanks.
