Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where history blends with the vine. This Chianti Classico Riserva from Dievole, 2019 vintage, is an invitation to a sensory journey, an authentic expression of an exceptional terroir.
The Dievole estate, nestled within the Chianti Classico appellation, grows its vines on limestone and clay soils. It is here that Sangiovese, the region's flagship grape, draws its strength and complexity. For this 2019 vintage, the wine is mainly made from Sangiovese (95%), complemented by Canaiolo (3%) and Colorino (2%), a harmony that respects Tuscan tradition. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks, with extended maceration to fully extract the aromas and color.
From the very first glance, you will be captivated by its deep ruby color, intense and seductive. On the nose, this wine reveals a rich and persistent bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, interwoven with spicy notes of black pepper and vanilla, inherited from its aging in oak barrels. On the palate, it proves structured and balanced, with soft yet assertive tannins and a pleasant freshness that extends the pleasure of tasting. It benefited from aging of at least 24 months, part of it in oak barrels for at least 18 months, followed by bottle refinement.
This Chianti Classico Riserva is the dream partner for the robust dishes of Italian cuisine. I recommend it with roasted red meats, game or aged cheeses. It is a wine to be savored, one that invites meditation, taking the time to appreciate every nuance. It is perfect for a special occasion or simply to treat yourself, transporting you to the heart of Tuscany with every sip.
