Chianti Classico is the historic heart of Tuscany, located between Florence and Siena and easily identified by the famous Gallo Nero (Black Rooster) seal. Distinguished from the broader Chianti region by higher elevations and stricter regulations, its wines are driven by Sangiovese (minimum 80%).

Deep ruby red, offering complex aromas of ripe cherries, plums, and iris, with subtle notes of leather and wood. On the palate, it is medium-to-full bodied with good acidity and smooth, well-integrated tannins, leading to a savoury and persistent finish.

A versatile food wine that pairs perfectly with pizza, tomato-based pasta dishes, grilled red meats, and antipasti.

Fermentation takes place with a medium period of maceration (8-10 days) to extract colour and soft tannins. Following alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for a brief period in French oak barriques to round out the structure while maintaining the fresh fruit profile typical of the style.
