Territory and wine style

The Toscana IGT designation allows for a free and modern interpretation of the territory, while still maintaining a strong connection to the Chianti tradition. Canaiolo is a grape variety that expresses this identity well: less intense color compared to other Tuscan reds, a livelier tannic structure, predominantly red fruit, and a constant floral component. In this case, the production approach favors freshness, drinkability, and balance, with an eight-month maturation between concrete and steel that accompanies the wine without weighing it down.

The sip is harmonious, juicy, and precise, with an overall sensation of balance that invites a second taste.

Recommended pairings

Thanks to its versatility, this wine easily pairs with rich Tuscan mixed platters, traditional cured meats, pasta with ragù, pappardelle, flavorful first courses, and roasted or pan-fried white meats.
