Aroma: Expect a fragrant nose of ripe red and dark fruits, such as cherry and plum, with rustic undertones of leather, tobacco, and subtle spices. You may also find savory herbal notes, violets, and dried leaves.
Palate: The palate is juicy and flavorful, with refreshing acidity that balances its rich fruit notes. It features supple and round fruit flavors, with fine tannins that are well-integrated and lend good structure.
Structure: It is medium-bodied with a supple mouthfeel and a long, consistent finish.
Food pairings
The 2020 Chianti Classico's vibrant fruit, acidity, and structure make it versatile for pairing with a range of dishes, including: Meaty lasagna, Meat-lover's pizza, Veal porterhouse, Charcuterie boards, Regional Tuscan classic dishes, such as bistecca alla Fiorentina
Decanting: While the wine is ready to drink now, some critics recommend decanting for an hour to soften its pleasantly chewy tannins.
Drinking window: Most critics recommend drinking it from 2024–2026 or 2025–2029. However, its fine tannins and structure suggest it could be held for a few more years to develop.
