What kind of wine it is

Borgo San Frediano’s Chianti Classico is an authentic expression of pure Sangiovese, a grape variety that faithfully embodies the character of the Tuscan terroir. This red wine stands out for its fragrant and immediate profile, supported by a good structure and a well-defined personality that leans toward elegance. The production process, which includes fermentation in steel and maturation in wood, harmonizes its components to deliver a fresh and persistent sip.

Where it comes from

This wine is born in the heart of Tuscany, within the historic Chianti Classico area, and its name recalls the famous Florentine district of Borgo San Frediano. Known as "Diladdarno," this vibrant urban setting inspires the label with its dynamic atmosphere and the lively spirit of its historic artisan workshops. The geographic origin gives the wine a strong identity, centered on the typical qualities of Sangiovese and on a style that highlights freshness and regional balance.

How it is produced

The grapes are harvested and quickly brought to the winery to preserve the fruit’s integrity and aromatic freshness. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature to ensure a clean aromatic profile. Afterwards, the wine matures for several months in oak barrels, a crucial stage to complete structure development and encourage the integration of the tannic texture.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it shows an intense ruby red color, which ushers in a rich and nuanced bouquet. On the nose, notes of cherry and ripe red fruit emerge, enriched by distinctive hints of blood orange and suggestions of Mediterranean herbs, with bay leaf standing out. On the palate, the wine reveals itself as fresh and juicy, with nuances of blond tobacco and present yet well-integrated tannins leading to a clean and pleasantly persistent finish.

Food pairings

Thanks to its freshness, this Chianti Classico is perfect for pairing with pasta dishes featuring meat sauces, where the wine’s structure balances the savoriness of the sauce. It pairs wonderfully with roasted white meats, braised red meats and game, as its tannic texture supports the succulence of these preparations. It also shines alongside aged cheeses or classic Tuscan dishes, such as pappardelle with wild boar.

When to serve it

This red is the right choice when you’re seeking a fragrant yet full-bodied wine, ideal for both everyday lunches and dinners featuring flavorful dishes. To enjoy its juiciness and balance to the fullest, serve at the correct temperature for red wines, allowing the bouquet to express itself precisely. Its drinkability makes it perfect for the whole meal, offering a smooth sip that doesn’t weigh down the palate.
