Cultus Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG

2021 Organic

Cultus was conceived as an evolution of Chianti Classico Riserva, the result of a journey that began years ago and has matured through experience and adaptation. It is a wine that responds to the challenges of climate change with rigor, careful selection, and a more focused use of historic indigenous varieties that, in Chianti, have always accompanied Sangiovese. The grapes come from selected parcels in the historic vineyards of Monti, where Sangiovese finds ideal conditions of exposure, altitude, and soil composition.

Tasting Notes

Intense ruby ​​red with garnet highlights. Elegant balsamic notes on the nose, with floral and aromatic herbal notes. Warm and pleasant on the palate, with a delightful balance between great freshness and full body. Well-integrated tannins, long and persistent finish.

Pairings

The structure is unmistakable, yet never overpowering. Its balance of body and freshness makes it far more versatile than one might expect from a Riserva. An excellent companion to red meats and game, as well as lamb, roast pork, aged cheeses, mushrooms, and truffles. It also pairs beautifully with contemporary fusion cuisine, where Italian ingredients meet international culinary influences.
