From the heart of Chianti Classico, near the village of Greve-in-Chianti, this wine hails from the Tuscan estate of Villa Calcinaia. The estate has been owned by the Capponi family since 1524. The winery's philosophy is to craft wines that are balanced, elegant, and refreshing, with a savouriness and intensity that ensures their longevity.
Wine Description
The Villa Calcinaia Chianti Classico 2019 has a ruby red colour with garnet shading. It is made from a blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Canaiolo grapes, which are certified organic and handpicked. On the nose, it is very aromatic and savory, with notes of bright red fruit, roses, violets, and dried leaves. You may also find notes of cherry, ripe fruit, redcurrant, fresh herbs, and a 'meaty/charcuterie' character. On the palate, the wine is supple and dry, with a medium body and a well-balanced structure. It features round fruit flavours, refreshing acidity, and well-integrated tannins.
Food Pairing
This wine is ideal with grilled meats, poultry, cured meats, and aged cheeses. It also pairs well with roasts, tomato-based dishes, and is an excellent match for pizza, including Pizza Margherita. The pairing of this wine with rich meat dishes highlights its well-balanced structure and persistent finish.
