Casa Al Vento Aria Chianti Classico DOCG (750ml)

Aria, from Casa Al Vento, is a Chianti Classico DOCG of 100% Sangiovese grown at Borgo Casa Al Vento in Gaiole in Chianti. It spends twelve months in barriques, then six more in bottle. The wine has been kosher from the 2021 harvest forward, and a classical Tuscan kosher bottle like this is a rare find.

Mood: Elegant. Rustic. Tuscan.

Tasting notes

Red cherry and dried rose open the nose, with a hint of sweet spice and a light savory edge beneath. On the palate it is structured, dry, and medium-bodied, with red-fruit lift, dried herbs, and a fine dusty tannin carrying the signature grip of Sangiovese. A long, pleasantly warm finish brings an earthy note and a whisper of tobacco.

Food pairing

It is a classical match for roast lamb, herbed chicken, pasta bolognese, and Shabbos brisket. It also stands up to slow-cooked stews and aged cheeses.
