Origin

Produced in the Chianti Classico region, Tuscany, Italy. This area is renowned for its historic vineyards and ideal terroir for Sangiovese grapes.

Variety

The wine is primarily made from Sangiovese grapes, which are the hallmark of Chianti Classico wines, often blended with small percentages of other authorized red varieties.

Production

  • Grapes are hand-harvested to ensure optimal ripeness and quality.
  • Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.
  • Aging occurs in large Slavonian oak casks and French oak barrels for an extended period to develop complexity.
  • Bottling follows strict quality controls in compliance with Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG regulations.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Deep ruby red with garnet reflections.
  • Aroma: Intense and complex bouquet featuring ripe cherry, violet, and subtle spicy notes.
  • Palate: Full-bodied and well-structured with balanced acidity and silky tannins, revealing flavors of red fruits, leather, and hints of tobacco.
  • Finish: Long and persistent with elegant mineral undertones.

Food pairings

  • Grilled red meats such as steak or lamb.
  • Rich pasta dishes with meat-based sauces like ragù or Bolognese.
  • Aged cheeses including Pecorino Toscano or Parmigiano-Reggiano.
  • Game dishes such as wild boar or venison.
