A Symphony of Aromas and Flavors
From the first pour, this Chianti Classico captivates with its ruby-red hue and hints of garnet, inviting you to explore its layered bouquet. Aromas of sweet berries, crushed stones, and violets mingle with heady cherry blossoms and grilled herbs, creating an olfactory experience that’s both vibrant and refined. On the palate, crunchy acidity and a clever blood orange lift brighten the black cherry and dark earth nuances, while finely polished tannins and a stony texture add structure and elegance. The finish is lingering and warming, with delicate notes of tea leaf, iron earth, and amaro, making each sip a journey through Tuscany’s terroir.
