2023 Salcheto Biskero Chianti DOCG

Discover the vibrant soul of Salcheto Biskero Chianti DOCG, a radiant red from Tuscany’s Chianti Colli Senesi. Crafted by Salcheto from organically and biodynamically grown Sangiovese (85%), Canaiolo, Mammolo, and Merlot grapes on the Poggio Piglia and Abbadia vineyards, this wine is fermented with native yeasts and aged 30% in 300-liter American oak tonneaux for four months, followed by three months in bottle. Its ruby-red hue gleams with purple glints. Bursting with black cherry and plum, it’s perfect for spaghetti with meatballs or grilled bistecca fiorentina. This dry, medium-bodied Chianti offers bright acidity, silky tannins, and a spicy, earthy finish, capturing Tuscany’s rustic elegance with eco-conscious finesse.

Nose: An intense bouquet unfolds with black cherry, red currant, and crushed violets, accented by potpourri, Sichuan pepper, and wet earth. It’s bold yet refined.

Palate: Juicy and balanced, the palate delivers ripe cherry, raspberry, and star anise, with a mineral backbone. Bright acidity and polished tannins create a smooth, lively structure. Effortlessly inviting.

Finish: Tart berry, clove, and a touch of graphite. It’s dry and vibrant, urging another sip with Tuscan charm.

This Chianti is a versatile gem. Pair it with spaghetti and meatballs or beef lasagna for a classic Tuscan match. It shines with grilled bistecca fiorentina, roasted lamb, or aged pecorino. For a casual vibe, try it with bruschetta or charcuterie. Its acidity and fruit-forward profile elevate rustic, savory, or herb-driven dishes.
