Torre a Cona 2018 Chianti Colli Fiorentini DOCG Riserva is a still red wine that embodies the essence of the Tuscan hills, a blend of history, tradition, and winemaking passion. Hailing from the Chianti region, this wine is made using a selection of Sangiovese, the grape variety that tells the story of its homeland, expertly aged in oak barrels to enhance its complexity and depth. The 2018 vintage stands out for its favorable climate, which allowed for excellent grape ripening, resulting in a wine with an intense, nearly impenetrable ruby red color.
On the nose, notes of ripe berries, such as cherries and plums, intertwine with hints of sweet spices, vanilla, and a subtle earthy touch, reflecting the typical characteristics of the region. On the palate, this Chianti Riserva presents soft, well-integrated tannins, offering a rich and enveloping sip, with a lingering finish that invites another taste. With an alcohol content of 14°, the wine boasts an elegant structure that is never overwhelming, perfectly balancing freshness and warmth.
It pairs excellently with traditional Tuscan dishes, such as ribollita or pici cacio e pepe; Torre a Cona is an ideal accompaniment for grilled red meats or game, but it also pairs well with aged cheeses and truffle dishes. This wine is not just a beverage but a sensory experience that transports those who taste it to the heart of Tuscany, making each sip a goblet full of stories to tell and memories to relive. If you are looking for an addition to your collection or a precious gift, Torre a Cona 2018 is undoubtedly a choice that will not disappoint.
