The 1995 Podere Il Palazzino Chianti Grosso Sanese is a timeless Tuscan treasure, showcasing the charm of aged Sangiovese at its finest. With decades of maturation, it reveals an elegant complexity and rich depth, a rare treat for lovers of traditional Chianti.

Winemaking at Podere Il Palazzino is a meticulous process. The Grosso Sanese vineyard benefits from a sunny south-southeast exposure and soils rich in alberese and galestro. Grapes are hand-harvested from vines aged 15-30 years, with yields carefully limited to ensure intensity and quality. Fermentation spans 30 days, followed by 12 months in Allier oak barriques and an additional 12-36 months in large oak casks. After blending and bottling, the wine rests for six more months, achieving its refined, complex character.

Pairing Suggestions: Perfect with wild boar ragu, bistecca alla Fiorentina, or truffle-infused dishes. Aged Pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano elevate its earthy nuances.

Tasting Note: Aromas of dried cherries, leather, and tobacco lead to a palate of dark berries, savoury herbs, and subtle spice. Velvety tannins and a long, harmonious finish.
