Description
1975 Chianti – Verrazzano (Tuscany, Italy)
A fully mature, classical Chianti that favours perfume and savoury finesse. Brick-garnet with a broad tawny rim, it lifts with dried cherry and amarena, rose petal, cedar and sweet tobacco, with hints of orange peel, tea leaf and a gentle balsamic note. Mid-weight and silken on the palate: lively, old-school acidity carries red-cherry fruit, dried herbs and subtle leather; tannins are fine and resolved, the finish tapering with cherry skin, cedar spice and dried flowers.
Producer note: Castello di Verrazzano is a historic Greve estate in Chianti Classico, famed for Sangiovese from marl and limestone slopes and a traditional, aromatic style built for graceful ageing—well reflected in this mature bottle.
Serve: 16–18 °C. Stand upright 12–24 hours; very gentle decant for sediment just before pouring.
Food pairing: Roast chicken with herbs, bistecca tagliata, porcini risotto, pecorino stagionato.
