The Tasting
-
Appearance & Nose
01This Chianti Classico presents a vibrant ruby red hue, hinting at its youthful energy, and offers an alluring bouquet of wild cherry, violet, and a whisper of Tuscan garrigue. The nose is further enlivened by subtle notes of leather and a touch of earthy truffle, characteristic of its Sangiovese heart.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, it delivers a beautifully balanced taste profile, with bright acidity cutting through the ripe cherry fruit and a fine-grained tannic structure that provides a pleasing grip. The finish is long and persistent, echoing the fruit and savory nuances with an elegant, dry conclusion. This wine sings with traditional Florentine steak, grilled lamb chops with rosemary, hearty pappardelle with wild boar ragu, or a simple platter of aged pecorino cheese. It also shines alongside a rustic bean soup or a classic Bistecca alla Fiorentina.
