Chianti Classico 2020 DOCG

A Chianti Classico that brings the heart of Tuscany directly into the glass: lively acidity, ripe tannin, and the characteristic freshness that distinguishes this DOCG zone.

Tenuta Casenuove is located in the core area of Chianti Classico between Florence and Siena — that hilly landscape of Galestro-rich soils and continental climate that gives Sangiovese its taut structure and aromatic depth. The 2020 vintage relies on a classic cuvée: 90% Sangiovese, supplemented by 6% Canaiolo and 4% Merlot.

It glows in a rich ruby red in the glass. The nose shows Marasca cherry and cassis jam, plus tobacco and a fine wood spice. On the palate, the wine appears lively — the acidity carries it, the tannin is ripe and well-integrated, the finish is velvety and of pleasant length.

Classically with pizza with Italian salsiccia or an aged Pecorino. It also cuts a fine figure at the barbecue — with lamb chops or grilled chorizo. Serving temperature: 16–18 °C.
