Tasting notes
A beautifully bright and intense ruby-red colour. The bouquet is complex with fruity notes and lightly spiced aromas at the end. The fruity notes include sour cherry, blueberry, raspberry and goji berry. Floral hints include sweet violet and rose hip. There are also wonderful spicy notes, including liquorice and clove, accompanied by roasted aromas that developed when ageing. On the palate, it has a lovely acid-alcohol balance and noticeable yet velvety-smooth tannins.
Vinification
Once picked by hand and meticulously selected, these were fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The frequent breaking of the cap ensured perfect polyphenolic extraction, resulting in a colour and structure typical of a Chianti Classico Riserva wine.
Ageing
24 months in oak barrels followed by several months in the bottle.
Food pairing
Perfect with meaty Italian dishes featuring tomato sauce, such as pasta with meatballs, pizza, lasagna, chicken parmesan and bruschetta.
