Description

A Traditional Chianti from a Historic Estate
The 1999 Chianti Le Coste - Grati offers a classic expression of Tuscan tradition from a family estate with deep regional roots. The Grati family has been producing wine in the Rufina area for generations, emphasizing authenticity and balance. Their Le Coste label showcases a more traditional style of Chianti, highlighting Sangiovese’s bright fruit and earthy elegance.

A Vintage of Structure and Harmony
The 1999 vintage in Tuscany is considered excellent, marked by a warm, consistent growing season that produced wines with ripe fruit, firm tannins, and great potential for aging. Chianti from this vintage shows both concentration and finesse, making it one of the most celebrated years of the late 20th century in the region.

Evolved Aromatics and Balanced Palate
Now with over two decades of maturity, this Chianti displays a deep garnet color with soft brick edges. The bouquet is inviting and layered, offering aromas of dried cherry, red plum, leather, forest floor, and subtle notes of sweet tobacco and herbs. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and harmonious, with softened tannins and lively acidity supporting savory, mature fruit and earthy undertones. The finish is long and elegant, reflecting the depth and grace of aged Sangiovese.

Serving and Pairing Recommendations
Serve slightly below room temperature (around 17 °C). Decanting for about 30 minutes is recommended to help the wine fully express its mature aromatics and integrated flavors. This Chianti pairs beautifully with classic Tuscan dishes such as bistecca alla fiorentina, wild boar ragù, roast lamb, or aged pecorino cheese, enhancing its earthy and savory notes.

A Collector’s Tuscan Gem
The 1999 Chianti Le Coste - Grati is a wonderful find for collectors and enthusiasts of mature Tuscan wines. It offers a perfect balance of fruit, earth, and gentle maturity, capturing the timeless character of Chianti. Ideal for marking a special occasion, sharing with fellow wine lovers, or savoring slowly to appreciate the quiet elegance of well-aged Sangiovese.
