More questions
Riserva Chianti Classico DOCG - Villa S. Andrea - Magnum embodies the tradition and elegance of the famous Chianti territory. Produced in the Tuscan hills stretching between Florence and Siena, this wine is mainly made from the Sangiovese grape, the undisputed symbol of the denomination, which offers intense and vibrant aromatic profiles. Aging in oak barrels gives structure and complexity, balancing the tannins with delicate notes of ripe cherry, sweet spices, and a hint of tobacco.
On the nose, it opens with enveloping notes of red fruits, accompanied by herbal scents and light balsamic nuances. On the palate, it stands out for its harmony and persistence, with an elegant finish that invites another sip. The Magnum, with its greater aging capacity, ensures slower maturation and better preservation of aromas over time, making it perfect for those who desire a bottle to store or share on special occasions.
Ideal with typical Tuscan dishes such as Florentine steak or aged cheeses, this Chianti Classico presents itself as a refined and generous companion for every convivial moment.
