Description
Chianti Colli Senesi
In the picturesque hills around Siena in Tuscany, the Niccolai family realizes their dream of excellent wines at their “Palagetto” estate. With the support of oenologists like Giacomo Tachis, wines that combine local and international grape varieties are created here. The Chianti, a blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Merlot, undergoes traditional maceration fermentation in cement vats after hand harvesting and matures in large wooden barrels.
The aromas are characterized by the typical Sangiovese traits with notes of sour cherry and red fruits like currants, complemented by delicate violets. On the palate, the wine impresses with ripe tannins and a lively acidity, rounded off by a pleasant roasted note that leaves a harmonious mouthfeel.
Suitable Foods
As a versatile companion, the Colli Senesi pairs with a wide range of dishes, from pizza and hearty pasta to spicy cheese. Its spicy component also makes it an ideal partner for grilled meats or a rustic sausage platter, making it the perfect everyday wine for diverse culinary occasions.
