Podere Sant'Ilaria
Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, 2018
Bin 03, Red

Two sisters run this farm in Radda, on 11 hectares of stony galestro soil. They use their own grapes and nothing else, then age the wine in big old casks that add very little flavor. It tastes like Sangiovese and the hill it grew on.

How it tastes

Red plum, orange peel and dried herbs, with bright acidity.

What to eat with it

  • Pappardelle with hare
  • Roast chicken
  • Margherita pizza
