Sommelier's Tasting Notes

A wine of genuine pedigree, offering a complex journey for the discerning palate.

• Colour: Intense ruby, with garnet reflections hinting at its ageing potential.
• Nose: Highly fragrant, leading with generous notes of black cherry, red plum, and wild berries, beautifully framed by floral touches of iris and spicy hints of liquorice and tobacco.
• Palate: Full-bodied and beautifully poised. The texture is lifted by a characteristic high acidity and supported by taut, velvety tannins. It offers a sustained, clean finish with an appealing savory complexity. This is a wine to savor and cellar.

Culinary Matches & Decanting

The high acidity and structure of this Chianti Classico make it an exceptional match for rich, slow-cooked dishes.

• Serving Temperature: 16-18°C. Best enjoyed after 45 minutes to an hour of decanting.
• Suggested Pairings: A traditional Slow-cooked Wild Boar Ragù with Pappardelle, a classic Traditional Roast Lamb with garlic and rosemary, or a wedge of well-aged Pecorino.
