This Sangiovese expression full of character, which bears the authentic face of Chianti Classico, comes from the privileged vineyards around Castellina in Chianti. The Zingarelli family, who have been dedicated to this exceptional terroir for five decades, rely on hand-picked grapes, predominantly Sangiovese with a subtle proportion of Merlot, for their classic wine. Lively ruby red in the glass with a youthful brilliance. The intense bouquet develops ripe aromas of raspberries and wild strawberries, accompanied by notes of violets and an elegant spiciness with subtle nuances of wood. On the palate, the wine is balanced, structured and warm, with a silky body and fine, never intrusive tannins. The lively freshness harmonises perfectly with the fruity concentration and leads to a lingering aromatic finish. A Chianti Classico that masterfully combines tradition and modernity and expresses the typicality of its origin with youthful purity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red colour. Vegetal hints on the nose, not quite precise, also on the palate, unfortunately a little rough on the finish." Falstaff

"The nose is floral and savoury, with aromas of cherry blossom, wet slate, crushed rocks, tea leaves and orange peel. The palate opens with cherries, dark chocolate and more orange peel, then turns earthy and savoury. Assertive tannins and a strong acidity." Wine Enthusiast

"A forthright Chianti Classico with cherry stones, fresh violets, liquorice, subtle smoke and black pepper on the nose. Medium body, juicy acidity, supple palate, refined tannins and cherry flavours." James Suckling
