2020 Le Fioraie Chianti Classico

Here’s a Chianti Classico that balances soulful tradition with bright, approachable charm. Grown in the historic Le Fioraie hamlet of Castellina in Chianti, this wine draws from hillside vines at 380–480 m altitude and rich clay-limestone soils. The 90% Sangiovese core (augmented by 10% Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo and Colorino) leads off with classic dark cherry and forest-floor aromas, followed by taut acidity and fine tannins. It’s elegant, vibrant and versatile—hearty enough for a leisurely feast, yet friendly enough to enjoy with simplicity.

Nose: Dark-ruby colour greets you with wild strawberry and black cherry aromas, layered beneath hints of undergrowth and raspberry jam.

Palate: Medium to full body with tangy red fruit, firm but refined tannins and a mineral-driven thread that keeps things clean and fresh.

Finish: Dry, persistent and balanced—earthy tones linger with a subtle hint of spice and a refreshing lift from the acidity

This Chianti Classico works beautifully with Tuscan fare: herb-roasted pork shoulder, tomato-sauced pappardelle with wild boar ragù, or a classic bistecca alla fiorentina. It also pairs effortlessly with aged Pecorino, mushrooms sautéed in garlic and rosemary, or a board of charcuterie and olives.
