The 2018 Chianti Classico is a textbook expression from the appellation. This Sangiovese-based wine shows latitude and depth with elegant aromas of wild berry, forest floor, dried blueberry, honey, lavender and rosemary essence. There are hints of chalk or crushed limestone that recall the unique soils of the Gaiole in Chianti growing region. The tannins are elegantly integrated, and the wine offers enough natural freshness to pair with a hearty pappardelle al sugo di cinghiale.

Bright cherry and strawberry fruit notes infuse this elegant red, while floral and mineral notes play supporting roles. This is balanced and expressive, with a line of tannins emerging as this plays out on the lingering finish. Sangiovese and Canaiolo.
