Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the hills roll under the sun, dotted with century-old vineyards. The Chianti Riserva DOCG from the Leonardo Da Vinci 1502 estate, 2020 vintage, is an invitation to this sensory journey, an authentic expression of an exceptional terroir.
This wine takes root in the emblematic Chianti region, blessed land for growing Sangiovese, a unique grape and king of this appellation. The Leonardo Da Vinci 1502 estate, although its history is not detailed here, is part of this centuries-old tradition, perpetuating expertise that has spanned the ages. It is here, on these generous soils, that Sangiovese draws all its strength and complexity.
On tasting, this Chianti Riserva 2020 reveals itself in a deep and luminous red robe. On the nose, I immediately perceive notes of ripe cherry, delicate violet and a spicy touch, enhanced by subtle earthy trails that evoke the richness of its terroir. On the palate, it unfolds an elegant structure, with soft tannins and a beautiful persistence. The balance between its refreshing acidity and its aromatic richness is remarkable, the result of a traditional fermentation with extended maceration and aging of at least 24 months.
To fully appreciate this Chianti Riserva, I recommend pairing it with dishes that will converse with its structure and aromas. It will be the ideal companion for grilled or sauced red meats, flavorful game, or a platter of aged cheeses. It is a wine that calls for conviviality, for those moments when we take the time to savor the moment. Let yourself be carried away by this bottle, it will tell you the story and passion of Tuscany with every sip.
