Strada Rossa Chianti is produced in Cerreto Guidi, a small town located in the Tuscan hills of Italy between Florence and Pisa. This wine is a rich, full-bodied wine which undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation for 10 days before élevage in both traditional concrete vats and oak barrels. This unique aging in large French barrels (20-hectolitre barriques) allows the wine to develop more richness and oak influence than your everyday Chianti, showcasing deeper notes of ripe red fruit and spice.

Tasting Note

This modern-style Chianti offers an expressive bouquet of ripe dark red fruit, layered with notes of vanilla and spice and a touch of cocoa. The palate is rich and generous, showcasing dark berry fruit flavors framed by supple tannins and well-integrated oak aging.

Food Pairing

The bright acidity and freshness of this Chianti allow it to pair well with a wide variety of food including pizza, pasta dishes (red sauce), as well as heavier meat dishes like beef and pork or burgers. It is also excellent with classic Italian cheeses and meats, like Prosciutto, Salami, Parmesan and Pecorino.
