About the vintage

An excellent year in Chianti Classico. The summer saw low rainfall and high temperatures in July and August. The important temperature excursions between day and night produced wines with high levels of aromatic profiles and excellent acidity. This vintage highlights sangiovese's features: extract values, anthocyanins, polyphenols and unique and concentrated varietal aromas.

In the glass

A full-bodied and age worthy wine with intense aromas of black cherry, chocolate, tobacco, and leather. Ripe and tangible tannins wrapped in well-preserved fruit and a balanced barrel character. A wine worth the wait and suitable for life's festive highlights.

Combined with food

A wine that is advantageously combined with food. A tender fillet with homemade red wine sauce or a "spezzatino", a juicy stew made on high ribs with lots of spices and root vegetables.
