About the vintage

Vintage 2019 is one of the top three best vintages of this millennium. Balanced temperatures throughout the year give elegant and complex wines made to age. A vintage that reminds us of the great Chianti Classicos during the 1980's.

In the glass

A single-vineyard wine that differs from our other Chianti Classico because the grapes come from a vineyard on high altitude. It is an elegant and deep terroir-driven wine with aromas of red cherries, soft, ripe tannins and a freshness that shines through.

Combined with food

A wine that with its elegant freshness is easy to combine with food. From tagliatelle with meat stew to spicy Italian sausage with garlic-fried kale. Also works with a salmon fillet with potatoes and a rich white wine sauce.
