Appearance
Deep ruby-red color with vivid garnet nuances and marked elegance.
Nose
An exceptionally complex and refined aromatic profile with notes of red cherry, wild strawberries, sour cherries and orange peel, complemented by aromas of licorice, leather, dried herbs, cedar, tobacco and subtle earthy tones.
The nose is highly refined, layered and aristocratic, with a distinctive Chianti identity.
Palate
Medium to full body with exceptional tension, energy and a silky tannin texture.
There are notes of red fruit, cherries, pomegranate, dried herbs, cedar, light spiciness and subtle minerality. The acidity is vibrant, and the wine retains remarkable freshness and linearity.
San Lorenzo 2021 combines power, refinement and territorial precision in a way that recalls the greatest Chianti Classico wines.
Finish
A very long, elegant and mineral finish with persistent notes of red cherry, earth, cedar, orange peel and subtle spices. The finish remains remarkably fresh, tense and complex.
