Style: Red

Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Margherita pizza
  • Spicy penne all'arrabbiata
  • Italian salumi like coppa, prosciutto, bresaola, and cacciatorini

This earthy Chianti Riserva shows textbook Sangiovese character: mineral-backed red cherry fruit and dusty tannins. Led pencil and tar notes coalesce into a wine that is a perfect example of regional typicity versus "international" style.
