The wine

San Leonino: The soul of Chianti Classico in your glass

Picture yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the sun caresses the vines and every sip tells a thousand-year-old story. This Chianti Classico DOCG from the San Leonino estate is much more than a wine; it is an invitation to a sensory journey, an immersion in Tuscan authenticity.

San Leonino, guardian of an exceptional terroir

Nestled in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, the San Leonino estate is a true emblem of Tuscan viticulture. This wine, made mainly from the Sangiovese grape, is a perfect reflection of its terroir. Every bunch is grown with passion, in keeping with the traditions that have made this prestigious appellation famous.

As soon as you pour it, its intense ruby red colour, flecked with garnet highlights, promises you a rich tasting experience. On the nose, you will be charmed by a complex aromatic bouquet: notes of ripe red fruits such as cherry and plum blend harmoniously with spicy touches of black pepper and tobacco. A subtle hint of vanilla, a legacy of its time in barrel, rounds off this olfactory symphony. On the palate, this Chianti Classico reveals itself as full-bodied and structured. Its tannins are soft and velvety, providing perfect balance and remarkable persistence. The characteristic acidity of Sangiovese is beautifully tempered by a pleasant roundness, making every sip harmonious and inviting. The finish is long and enveloping, leaving a persistent aftertaste of ripe fruit and sweet spices.

The perfect pairing for your Tuscan evenings

This Chianti Classico DOCG Al Limite is the ideal companion for your meals. I particularly recommend it with typical Tuscan dishes, such as a succulent bistecca alla fiorentina, game or aged cheeses. It will also enhance your red meats and flavour-rich dishes. It is the perfect wine for an evening with friends, a romantic dinner, or simply to treat yourself and enjoy a moment of escape to Tuscany.

The detail that intrigues me about this San Leonino is the hint of vanilla from barrel aging, amid cherry, black pepper and tobacco. A Sangiovese that plays the fruit card without forgetting structure.
