Tasting note

Colour

Intense cherry red

Nose

The Chianti Classico 2021 offers an enchanting nose of red and black berries as well as cherries, pansies, lavender and violets, a hint of leather and spices. You want to bathe in this wine, it is so fragrant and seductive and so very "Chianti".

Palate

On the palate, the wine is like the essence of Chianti Classico. The historically good vintage contributes to this. It is a crystal-clear, precise wine that is juicy, crisp and fresh, yet simultaneously ripe and aromatic. Here, the full energy rises from the glass and nothing stands in the way of pure fruit. It is guided by a brilliant acidity and a chalky tannin and complemented by a note as if a stone from the Colline Metallifere had been left in the barrel. It is an excellent Chianti Classico in every respect.

Food pairing suggestions

  • Pici with a wild boar ragù (game, pork)
  • Ribollita (vegetarian)
  • Gnudi with ricotta, chard and pecorino cream (vegetarian)
