Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the hills roll under the sun. It is here that I discovered a wine that captures this essence: the Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG Riserva from Tenuta Casabianca. It is not just a wine, it is a statement, a harmony between tradition and respect for nature.
Tenuta Casabianca is rooted in the Colli Senesi, an appellation that gives its wines a robust structure and a deep connection with the territory. The local microclimate, with its marked temperature variations between day and night, is a precious ally for the vine. It is in this setting that Sangiovese, the king grape variety of Tuscany, fully flourishes, making up 85% of the blend. It is complemented by 15% of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Canaiolo and Colorino, bringing complexity and nuances. Traditional fermentation, with extended maceration, allows all the richness of the berries to be extracted.
This Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG Riserva presents itself with an intense colour. On the nose, you will be charmed by vibrant notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, which blend harmoniously with nuances of sweet spices and a touch of vanilla, a legacy of ageing of at least 24 months. On the palate, the structure is balanced, carried by ripe tannins. The persistence is long, leaving a pleasantly harmonious aftertaste. This wine is also certified organic and vegan, guaranteeing a tasting experience that is respectful of the environment and animals.
This wine is an ideal companion for the robust dishes of Tuscan cuisine. Imagine it alongside a bistecca alla fiorentina, a cinghiale in umido, or even a platter of aged cheeses. It will enhance every bite with its refined elegance and expressive power. I recommend it for a special evening, a moment of sharing among friends, or as a gift for a wine lover mindful of sustainable practices. It is an invitation to discover a Chianti with character, which expresses the best of the region's tradition and innovation.
