Chianti Classico
Made from 95% Sangioveto and 5% Canaiolo harvested from estate vineyards located 1,200 feet above sea level, in the heart of Chianti Classico. After harvest, the grapes are crushed, de-stemmed and macerated in contact with the skins for 15-20 days. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is transferred to 225 and 500 liter barrels for seven months.
Tasting Notes
This Chianti is brilliant ruby red with an ample bouquet of violets, iris and vanilla followed by thick layers of fruit on the palate. Dry and full bodied with hints of almond and slight notes of tobacco. This is a concentrated, consistently round wine wi
Food Pairing
Recommended with roast beef, tripe, pecorino toscano cheese and hearty dishes.
