Le Merlaie Chianti Riserva DOCG – Classic Tuscan Red with Depth & Character
Le Merlaie Chianti Riserva DOCG is a traditional Italian red wine from the rolling vineyards of Chianti in Tuscany, made under the prestigious Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) quality regulations. Crafted primarily from Sangiovese with complementary ruby‑fruit varieties, this Riserva expression reflects the time‑honoured heritage of Tuscan winemaking.
In the glass it pours a rich ruby colour, opening with inviting aromas of ripe red fruit and warming cedar. On the palate, bright stewed plum and cherry notes are balanced by fine‑grained tannins and lively acidity, leading to a savoury, oaky finish that lingers beautifully.
Tasting Notes:
• Colour: Warm ruby red
• Nose: Ripe red fruit, cedar and subtle spice
• Palate: Balanced acidity, plum and cherry character with integrated tannins
• Finish: Elegant savoury, oaky finish
Food Pairing: Serve slightly below room temperature with rich Italian dishes such as slow‑cooked ragù, grilled meats, hearty pasta, traditional antipasti and aged cheeses — an ideal choice for convivial meals and special occasions.
