Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where every glass tells a story. This Chianti Classico Riserva 2019 from Geografico is an invitation to a sensory journey, an authentic expression of an exceptional terroir. It embodies tradition and passion, a wine that will speak to you of sunshine and craftsmanship.
The Geografico estate is rooted in the historic Chianti Classico region, that blessed land which gives its name to one of Italy's most prestigious appellations. Here, Sangiovese reigns supreme, and this wine is dazzling proof of it. It is made from 90% Sangiovese, complemented by 10% Merlot, a blend that gives it both character and suppleness.
From the very first glance, you will be captivated by its intense, luminous ruby red color. On the nose, this Chianti Classico Riserva offers you a complex bouquet: delicate notes of violette mammola mingle with aromas of ripe red fruits, all enhanced by spicy and balsamic touches, a true olfactory symphony. On the palate, it confirms the promises of the nose. Its tannic structure is finely crafted, bringing structure and balance, and its persistence is remarkable, leaving a memorable impression. Its vinification in steel tanks, followed by aging in wood, gives it this elegance and depth, with a minimum of 24 months of aging.
This Chianti Classico Riserva is the ideal companion for your most flavorful meals. I highly recommend it with grilled red meats, such as a succulent bistecca alla fiorentina, or game dishes that will enhance its aromas. It will also pair wonderfully with aged cheeses, extending the pleasure of tasting. It is a wine that calls for conviviality, perfect for a dinner among friends or a special occasion where you wish to share a piece of Tuscany.
