What kind of wine is it

The Chianti Classico by Borgo San Frediano is an authentic expression of pure Sangiovese, a grape variety that faithfully conveys the character of the Tuscan region. This red wine stands out for its vibrant, accessible profile, supported by a good structure and a distinctive personality that focuses on elegance. The production process, which includes fermentation in steel and ageing in wood, harmonizes its components to deliver a fresh and persistent sip.

Where does it come 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 urban context inspires the label with its lively atmosphere and the vibrancy of historic artisan workshops. The geographic origin gives the wine a precise identity, focused on the typical features of Sangiovese and on a style that favors freshness and regional balance.

How is it made

The grapes are harvested and promptly transported to the cellar 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 ages for a few months in oak barrels, an essential phase to complete the development of the structure and favor the integration of the tannic texture.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it shows an intense ruby red color, which precedes a rich and multifaceted bouquet. On the nose, scents of cherry and ripe red fruit emerge, enriched with distinct notes of blood orange and hints of Mediterranean herbs, with bay leaf standing out. On the palate, the wine reveals itself fresh and juicy, with nuances of blond tobacco and present but well-integrated tannins that accompany a clean finish and remarkable persistence.

Food pairings

Thanks to its freshness, this Chianti Classico is ideal to accompany first courses with meat sauces, where the structure of the wine balances the savoriness of the dish. It pairs perfectly with roasted white meats, stewed red meat, and game, as its tannic texture supports the succulence of these dishes. It is also excellent with aged cheeses or classic Tuscan cuisine, such as pappardelle with wild boar ragù.

When to serve it

This red is the right choice when you are looking for a fragrant yet structured wine, suitable for both everyday lunches and flavorful dinners. To fully appreciate its juiciness and balance, it is recommended to serve it at the proper temperature for red wines, so that the bouquet can fully express itself. Its drinkability makes it ideal to accompany an entire meal and offers a smooth sip that does not weigh down the palate.
