Sangiovese forms the heart of this traditional Chianti Classico, with Merlot contributing to a generous, supple character. Woodland berries, floral notes and savoury depth make this an inviting Italian red, particularly at the dinner table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep red in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fragrant woodland berries and violet, with delicate floral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generous berry fruit meets a structured palate and soft, integrated tannins. There's plenty of character here, balanced by the savoury elegance that makes Chianti Classico such a natural food wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lingering and savoury, with berry fruit and floral notes carrying through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Pairing \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA natural partner for roast lamb with rosemary, grilled beef or aged Pecorino. Serve at around 18°C in a generous wine glass. Opening the bottle approximately two hours before serving will give the aromas time to develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a meat-free pairing, try mushroom ragù with pappardelle. The wine’s savoury finish suits the earthiness of the mushrooms, and a little aged Pecorino over the pasta brings out the berry fruit. With grilled beef, keep the seasoning simple so the floral notes still come through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVineyards \u0026amp; Winemaking\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Tenuta di Vignole, Sangiovese and Merlot are hand-harvested separately and fermented in concrete vats. The varieties are then matured individually, with Sangiovese spending time in medium-sized oak casks and Merlot in smaller French oak barrels. Following blending, the wine undergoes further bottle maturation before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis approach brings together Sangiovese's structure and character with Merlot's softer, more generous contribution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vignole","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67666556715257,"sku":"8003021007500-2023","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/6820\/0441\/files\/vignole-chianti-classico-2023_a11649be-2ad9-4fb1-b351-21f8ce91a59b.webp?v=1794387383","url":"https:\/\/winesellersdirect.com.au\/products\/vignole-chianti-classico-2023-italy","provider":"Wine Sellers Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
