CHIANTI SUPERIORE SANTA CRISTINA ANTINORI: TASTING NOTES

The presents itself in the glass with a ruby red color and purple reflections. On the nose, it expresses aromas of sour cherry, plum, and red fruit intertwined with balsamic hints and dark oriental spices. The palate is fresh and soft, supported by smooth tannins and a gentle minerality that lingers in the finish. Pair it well with cured meats, semi-aged and aged cheeses, as well as hearty land-based dishes featuring red meats or game.
