The straw-covered fiasco at the centre of the table, and the meal begins

What you will taste

• Texture: supple and silky, without heaviness.
• Aromas: fresh cherry, a grassy note and a slightly earthy base.
• Taste: light and tangy, supple tannins and a fresh finish.

How to use it

• With a pizza Margherita or pasta al pomodoro.
• On a bruschetta with fresh tomato and basil.
• With a Tuscan charcuterie and pecorino board, as an aperitif.

Where it comes from

Piantaferro Chianti is 100% Sangiovese, the red grape of Tuscany. The Chianti DOCG appellation requires production in a delimited area of Tuscany and at least 70% Sangiovese in the blend: this one contains no other.
