Description
This mature Chianti shows developed aromas of dried cherry, leather, tobacco, and a hint of balsamic and spice. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied with softened tannins, balanced acidity, and flavors of stewed red fruit, earth, and a touch of cedar from bottle age. The finish is smooth and lingering, with a gentle rustic warmth typical of aged Sangiovese.
Serve slightly below room temperature (around 17–18 °C / 63–65 °F). Decant for 30–45 minutes to open up the tertiary aromas. Excellent with roasted meats, aged pecorino, or classic Tuscan dishes like pappardelle al cinghiale (wild boar ragu).
