Nestled among the olive groves and cypress trees between Florence and Siena lie the picturesque hilltop villages of Chianti Classico. This distinguished wine is crafted solely within this enchanting region. It displays a deep ruby red hue with garnet highlights. The aroma is refined, rich, balanced, and enduring, revealing notes of raspberry and vanilla. On the palate, it unfolds with length, smoothness, richness, generosity, and warmth. An ideal companion to roasted meats and game dishes.
This beefy red relies on its dense texture, concentrated flavors of black cherry and blackberry fruit, and muscular tannins to get its message across. Wild herb, iron and earth notes add depth, while the finish is long and spicy. Best from 2027 through 2043.
The nose is savory and umami, with aromas of leather, graphite, underbrush, crushed rocks, bitter herbs and citrus swirling in the glass. Those earthy, bitter notes remain on the palate, but sweet cherries and wild strawberries pop overhead, while charged with powerful tannins and acid.
