Frescobaldi, Via Aretina 120 Pontassieve (FI)
Here we are in the heart of the Chianti appellation. Tenuta Castiglioni's favourable soil and climatic conditions allow the harvesting of the highest quality Sangiovese grapes and the production of wines that best reflect the characteristics of the terroir. A soft, pleasantly fruity Chianti with a strong, well-defined character, this traditional Tuscan red is made from Sangiovese grapes with small quantities of Merlot. Careful vinification and a fast refinement of 6 months in steel, preceded by a period of rest in the bottle. The result is a Chianti characterised by a beautiful ruby red colour with purple hues. Its bouquet is pleasantly fruity, with notes reminiscent of strawberry, morello cherry, raspberry and fig. The fruit is accompanied by floral and Mediterranean hints. Also pleasant is the delicate spicy note, with elegant hints of pepper and clove. In the mouth, on the other hand, it is characterised by a perfect taste-olfactory correspondence and a beautiful vivacity, with a long, delicate finish. A thoroughbred Tuscan red, this Chianti goes well with savoury dishes such as pappardelle with meat sauce, but also roast chicken and some semi-matured cheese.
