This wine is made from 100% Sangiovese grapes grown in estate vineyards, and hand-harvested using small crates, in Chianti's Colli Senesi subzone. Prior to fermentation in stainless steel, the skins and juice undergo a long cool maceration to impart rich color, flavor, and phenolics to the final wine. Additionally, since the 2005 vintage, this wine has been made from USDA-certified organically grown grapes.
Intense ruby red in color, this Chianti exhibits notes of fresh cherries, tobacco, and violets. On the palate, it is generously well-rounded with lively acidity and firm tannins.
Pair this wine with cioppinos, tomato and olive sauces, orecchiette arrabbiata, and even penne with vodka sauce
