About this wine

Grapes

Sangiovese and Merlot.

Technical data

Chianti Classico DOCG. Alcohol: 13.5% vol. Format: 0.75 L.

Tasting profile

Ruby-red reflections introduce aromas of lavender and white musk, followed by red cherry, agapanthus flowers and pepper. The palate combines generosity and freshness with pronounced roundness. A savoury, ferrous character evokes the vineyard of origin and is woven through soft tannins.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 18–20 °C. Pair with pappardelle with hare, tagliatelle with ragù or traditional Tuscan main courses such as mixed boiled meats, Florentine tripe and sliced beef with rosemary.
