Chianti DOCG Superiore "Il Leo" is an intense and refined expression of Tuscan tradition. It displays a deep ruby red color and a complex bouquet, where typical notes of morello cherry and violet blend with subtle hints of sweet spices. Compared to classic Chianti, the "Superiore" version ensures greater structure and extractive richness. On the palate, it is harmonious, with velvety tannins and a vibrant freshness that perfectly balances the 13.5% alcohol content. It is the ideal companion for flavorful Mediterranean dishes, grilled red meats, roasts, and medium-aged cheeses.

Ingredients

Sangiovese grapes and complementary varieties, contains sulphites.
