WINEMAKING

Drawn from the rolling hills of the Chianti Superiore region, this Sangiovese blend is midweight and savoury, with trademark charcuterie-seeking tannins, yet still with this core of ripe fruit. The superiore grapes are fermented in cement tanks. 

CELLARING

8-10 years

COLOUR

Deep crimson red in colour. 

NOSE

Aromas of dark berry fruits, plum and herbs. 

PALATE

Combines wonderful savoury elements, black olive and dried herbs with vibrant red fruits, plum, blackberry. The palate has supple, velvety tannins with flavours of spicy, sweet dark cherry. This wine has a very soft and succulent finish. 

FOOD PAIRING

Chianti works effortlessly well with tomato sauces, pizza, and pasta bakes. It is an easy-going Italian wine that will be perfect with lasagne, white bean soup, corstini with mushrooms or pecorino cheese.
