Da Vinci Chianti - Item Code: 04856
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Da Vinci Chianti greets the palate with a lively, medium-bodied feel that makes it an easy choice for casual dinners or festive gatherings. With an ABV of 13%, this Italian classic is crafted in the heart of Tuscany using primarily Sangiovese grapes, which are carefully harvested and fermented to preserve their vibrant character. The wine’s roots in Italy’s storied Chianti region shine through in every glass, offering a taste that feels both traditional and inviting.
On the nose and palate, Da Vinci Chianti reveals notes of ripe cherry, red plum, and subtle hints of violet, balanced by gentle tannins and a touch of earthiness. These flavors make it an excellent companion for pasta with tomato sauce—the wine’s acidity cuts through the richness while enhancing the dish’s savory elements. It also pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, where its fruit-forward profile complements the meat’s smoky depth without overpowering it.
