Description

Colombaio di Cencio - Monticello Chianti Classico is a premium Sangiovese-based wine produced in the heart of Tuscany, specifically within the Chianti Classico appellation. This wine represents the essence of the region, known for its elegant balance, vibrant acidity, and well-structured tannins. The Monticello vineyard, with its unique combination of altitude and soil composition, allows the Sangiovese grapes to express their full character. Aged in oak, this wine exhibits both the traditional and modern elements of Chianti winemaking.

TASTE:
On the palate, Colombaio di Cencio - Monticello Chianti Classico is medium-bodied, with lively acidity and fine-grained tannins.

FINISH:
The flavors are dominated by red fruits, such as sour cherries and raspberries, complemented by savory herbs, a touch of balsamic, and a subtle oak influence. The finish is long, with persistent notes of fruit and spice.

Food Pairing

Colombaio di Cencio - Monticello Chianti Classico pairs wonderfully with a wide variety of Italian and Mediterranean dishes. It is perfect for classic pasta dishes like spaghetti Bolognese or pappardelle with a wild boar ragu.
