Description

Castello di Cacchiano's Chianti Classico is a wine deeply rooted in its terroir, a testament to the Sangiovese grape's ability to express the unique characteristics of the Chianti Classico region. This wine embodies the tradition and history of Tuscan winemaking, offering a complex and rewarding experience. This elegant wine showcases a ruby red color, hinting at its vibrancy and youth. On the nose, it opens with inviting aromas of ripe red cherries and plums, intertwined with earthy notes of leather, tobacco, and a subtle hint of balsamic. The palate is dry and full-bodied, with a harmonious balance between acidity and tannins, leading to a long and persistent finish. Enjoy Castello di Cacchiano's Chianti Classico with roasted game, grilled steak Fiorentina, or a hearty ribollita soup. Its versatility also makes it an excellent companion to aged cheeses and charcuterie. This wine is a timeless expression of Tuscan terroir and winemaking tradition. Serve at around 18°C after opening the bottle half an hour before enjoying to let the complex aromas and flavors fully express themselves. The 2016 vintage in particular benefited from a warm growing season, resulting in concentrated flavors and a balanced structure.
