Da Vinci - Chianti 2023 is crafted in Italy’s most renowned vineyard zones, where strict appellation rules and centuries of tradition govern production. Grapes are harvested by hand from hillside vineyards, often with a mix of marl and clay soils that encourage long ripening and concentrated fruit. Only the healthiest clusters are chosen, reflecting a deep respect for quality at the source.
Fermentation typically takes place in temperature‑controlled tanks with extended maceration to draw structure from the skins. Aging follows in large oak casks or a mix of French barriques and Slavonian botti, often for years, which allows the wine to develop depth and character while remaining faithful to its terroir. The final blend is assembled after careful tasting, ensuring balance, typicity, and longevity.
The estate’s approach blends traditional methods with modern precision, preserving regional identity while meeting international standards of excellence.
Da Vinci - Chianti 2023 is a classic and approachable expression of Italian Sangiovese, crafted to deliver vibrant fruit and a food-friendly profile from the renowned Chianti region of Tuscany. On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of ripe red cherries, tart cranberries, and fresh red plums, beautifully complemented by savory notes of dried herbs, a hint of violet, and a distinct earthy undertone. A subtle touch of black pepper and a whisper of cured meat can also emerge. The palate is medium-bodied with bright, lively acidity and approachable tannins, providing a refreshing and clean structure. Flavors of tart red cherry, sour cherry, and juicy red berry dominate, interwoven with notes of dried tomato leaf, a subtle minerality, and a hint of rustic spice. The finish is clean, medium in length, and pleasantly savory, leaving a lingering impression of red fruit and a classic Tuscan tang.
This versatile Chianti is an exceptional food-pairing wine, particularly renowned for its affinity with a wide array of Italian cuisine. It is a perfect match for classic pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces, especially Bolognese, marinara, or lasagna. Its acidity and savory notes make it an ideal companion for pizza, grilled sausages, or cured meats like prosciutto and salami. For main courses, consider roasted chicken with herbs, grilled pork tenderloin, or lighter red meat preparations. It also pairs wonderfully with hearty vegetarian dishes featuring mushrooms, bell peppers, or eggplant Parmesan. For cheese, opt for firm Italian cheeses such as Parmigiano-Reggiano, Pecorino Romano, or a mild provolone, which will complement its structure and savory character beautifully.
