Description
Medium ruby colour; aromas and flavours of dried cherry, red berry fruit and gentle baking spice; dry, medium-bodied, mild tannins and refreshing acidity.
TASTING NOTES
Our Chianti Classico is crafted from a selection of estate grown grapes. In the glass the wine promises fragrant aromas of violet and red berries. On the mouth-watering palate, classic red cherry flavours and notes of white pepper and nutmeg come through backed up by firm tannins creating a well-balanced wine with juicy acidity and freshness.
FOOD PAIRING
This wine pairs perfectly with Italian cheeses such as pecorino with truffles, provolone and parmesan. Also, great with pastas and a simple tomato or meat sauce, grilled steak, risotto with mushrooms and roasted pork prepared in the Tuscan tradition (with garlic, herbs and fennel seeds).
