Maggiolo Chianti Classico DOCG 2021
The scent of flowers in May.
Tasting notes
Its bright ruby red color leads into a floral bouquet of cyclamens and violets, with fruity notes of mulberries, blackberries and blueberries and hints of sweet spices and cacao. The palate is dominated by fresh yet mellow sensations: the tannins are rounded and tasty, the acidity is well calibrated in its addition of vibrancy to the flavor, and the aromatic finish is profound yet elegant, with its suggestions of dark berry fruits and balsamic herbs.
Pairings
This wine goes marvelously with dishes that contain spices or have piquant sensations, or herby recipes. It is also ideal with various types of soups, especially those made from chickpeas, wild peas or lentils and simply seasoned with extra virgin olive oil. Try it too with the meat dishes of Asian or South American cuisines.
Why we like it
Maggiolo Chianti Classico D.O.C.G. is a taste of the joyful sunniness of our area. The name of this tasty, rounded wine is based on that of the iris (“giaggiolo”), a typical flower of the Lamole area that dots our vineyards in the month of May (“Maggio”) when it is at the height of its splendor. We can perceive it in the enchanting sensations and the gentle, soothing textures it offers us with every sip.
