In 1967, Chianti was classified DOC and has been classified as DOCG since 1984. At that time, the type was under one appellation, and encompassed wine made in seven individual zones with corresponding fields, but that was a lot for the average person to control.
Lively ruby red in colour with violet reflections. Fruity with aromas of ripe red fruit. Fresh & well balanced on the palate.
A red blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Canaiolo grown in the Chianti region of Tuscany.
Following careful grape selection and constant temperature fermentation techniques, this full bodied wine is bottled in the spring time following the harvest.
Food Pairing: A wine to match every course, it is particularly suited for white meats and pasta.
