Castellare Chianti Classico 2024

This authentic expression of Tuscan winemaking features a bright ruby red color with purple highlights. The nose opens with a fragrant, multilayered bouquet of fresh red berries, dark cherries, and wild plums, beautifully complemented by undertones of violets, licorice, graphite, and a delicate touch of vanilla. On the palate, it exhibits an elegant, medium-bodied structure with tight, spicy tannins and a vibrant core of crisp acidity. It finishes with a juicy, savory persistent note of ripe cherry and forest undergrowth, staying true to traditional Chianti Classico.

Food Pairing: This highly versatile food wine pairs perfectly with classic Italian meat ragùs, lasagna, roasted rabbit, grilled meats like Bistecca alla Fiorentina, or medium-aged cheeses.
