Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a vivid ruby-red color with a bright, youthful edge. The nose is lifted and pure, offering aromas of red cherry, sour plum, wild berries, violets, and subtle herbal and mineral accents. On the palate, expect a refined, energetic style with vibrant acidity, fine tannins, and a long, savory finish. The wine’s tension and balance suggest excellent aging potential, with added depth and complexity developing over time in bottle.

Production
The wine comes from Vigna Casanova dell'Aia, a single vineyard in Radda, one of the highest and coolest areas of Chianti Classico, where the soils and altitude help preserve freshness and aromatic detail. Sangiovese is typically harvested by hand to ensure optimal ripeness, then vinified with careful extraction to highlight purity, structure, and site expression.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, bistecca alla fiorentina, wild boar ragù, aged pecorino, and mushroom-based dishes. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for about 1 hour if drinking young to allow the aromatics and structure to open fully.

With a focus on precision viticulture and elegant, terroir-focused wines, the estate has earned recognition for expressing the cooler, more refined style of Radda.
