Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the sun caresses the vines and where every sip tells a story. This wine, the Il Pareto Toscana Rosso IGT 2020, is an invitation to discover the power and elegance of a Cabernet Sauvignon that has drawn its character from the generous soil of Chianti Classico. It is a promise of a sensory journey, a bottle to open for the moments that matter.
We are in Greve in Chianti, at the Tenuta di Nozzole, an estate where the Folonari family passionately continues the art of viticulture. It is here, on the Il Pareto Vineyard, that the Cabernet Sauvignon fully flourishes. This single grape variety, cultivated with care, reflects an exceptional terroir, where innovation blends with respect for traditions to give birth to wines of great depth.
From the very first glance, its deep ruby color seduces you. On the nose, I perceive a symphony of ripe red and black fruits, of plum, delicately lifted by spicy notes, tobacco and a subtle touch of cocoa. On the palate, the structure is present, the tannins are firm yet balanced, offering a persistence that invites contemplation. This is a wine that reveals itself gradually, unveiling at every moment a new facet of its personality.
To accompany this gem, I suggest a bold and refined food-and-wine pairing: a hare in civet (lepre in umido) served with cauliflower purée and truffle shards. The richness of the dish will respond to the complexity of the wine, creating a perfect harmony. It will also pair wonderfully with grilled red meats or aged cheeses. Serve it between 16 and 18 °C so that it expresses all its splendor.
The Il Pareto 2020 is more than a wine, it is an experience. It is the bottle you uncork to celebrate, to share a precious moment with those you love, or simply to treat yourself to a moment of escape. It embodies Tuscan elegance, an invitation to slow down and savor the beauty of simple and authentic things.
