Made from the classic Sangiovese grape. A full-bodied Italian red wine from the heart of Tuscany. Lots of mouth-watering, juicy acidity for tomato sauce. Aromas of dark red fruit. Smooth.

Chianti Classico food pairings: bucatini with sausage and peas, roast beef, cheesy pizza, stuffed roasted turkey.

Reviews and Ratings

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Classic, rustic and mouthwatering. This Tuscan gem shows pleasant aromas of cherry, floral, and savoury notes. Dominant flavours include tart cherry, sage, smoke, spice and dark chocolate. Enjoy this medium bodied red with braised chicken cacciatore. Tasted Oct 2016. @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca
Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Robust and pleasant aromatics with typicity. Full-bodied, smooth, rustic with complexity featuring savoury herb, fresh cherry, a hint of clove, and tart blackberry. This wine would pair well with braised rustic Italian sausage in Tuscan tomato sauce. Long finish with persistence of tart cherry and bay leaf. A Tuscan gem @jonsteeves rated 90/100 - Oct 2016 - bespoketastings.ca
