This is the feeling captured in every bottle of Chianti Castel del Nero from Fattoria 'Il Nero'. This wine embodies the soul of Chianti, a region steeped in history and renowned for its exceptional winemaking tradition.

Crafted primarily from the Sangiovese grape, this Chianti offers a delightful journey for the senses. On the nose, you'll be greeted by aromas of ripe red cherries and plums, intertwined with subtle earthy notes and a hint of spice.

Their commitment to traditional winemaking techniques, combined with a deep respect for the land, results in wines of exceptional quality and character.

The wine is then aged in oak barrels, allowing it to develop its complex flavors and smooth texture.

This Chianti Castel del Nero is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. Its acidity and fruit-forward character make it an ideal accompaniment to classic Italian cuisine. Enjoy it with pasta dishes such as spaghetti Bolognese or lasagna, or pair it with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or a selection of artisanal cheeses.

Imagine savoring a glass of this Chianti alongside a plate of Tuscan wild boar ragu, the rich, savory flavors of the ragu perfectly complementing the wine's fruit and earthiness. Or picture yourself sharing a bottle with friends over a casual pizza night, the wine's bright acidity cutting through the richness of the cheese and toppings. This wine is the perfect choice for any occasion, whether you're enjoying a quiet evening at home or celebrating a special event with loved ones.

So, uncork a bottle of Chianti Castel del Nero and let it transport you to the heart of Tuscany. Experience the passion and dedication that goes into every bottle, and discover why Chianti is one of the world's most beloved wines.

Your Notes

Not bad. The cherry and plum notes are present, but it lacks the zing I crave. Ok with pizza. I've tasted better Chiantis.
