Tasting Notes
Fattoria di Lucignano Chianti is a vibrant, classically styled Tuscan red wine crafted predominantly from a blend of 85% Sangiovese, 6% Merlot, 6% Ciliegiolo, and 3% Canaiolo. Displaying a beautiful medium ruby red color in the glass, it opens with an intense, perfumed nose overflowing with aromas of fresh black cherry, ripe plum, and wild violets. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine is remarkably soft yet structured, balancing its moderate acidity with well-present, grainy tannins that carry hints of black pepper, subtle earthy minerals, and baking spices into a clean finish. Because of its bright acidity and rustic flavor profile, it serves as an exceptional food companion. It pairs naturally with classic Italian tomato-based pasta dishes, lasagna, and margherita pizza, where the wine's acidity cuts beautifully through the richness of the cheese and matches the tang of the sauce. It is equally delightful alongside a traditional Tuscan spread of medium-aged cheeses (like Pecorino), savory cold cuts, grilled vegetables, and roasted or grilled red meats.
