The Villa Paradiso Chianti is a testament to the winemaking prowess of Tuscany. A predominant blend of 95% Sangiovese with a touch of Merlot at 5%, it offers an authentic taste of Italy. This red wine stands at a sweetness level of 6, straddling the line between the dry and sweet spectrum, and showcasing the versatility of the Sangiovese grape.
Upon the first encounter, the nose is greeted with an intense array of red fruits, hinting at the rich tapestry of flavors to be savored. The well-structured body of the wine presents a velvety smoothness that envelops the palate, complemented by gentle tannins and discernible undertones of red fruits. It is a medium-bodied wine, capturing the very essence of Chianti’s terroir.
Ready to be enjoyed at the moment, the Villa Paradiso Chianti does not necessitate extensive storage. It carries with it the heritage of the Piccini family, who have been crafting wines since 1882. The winery’s founder, Angiolo Piccini, once roamed the Tuscan hills as a boy, dreaming of the day he would produce his own wines. His dream was realized with the establishment of his winery, and the Villa Paradiso estate stands as a monument to his childhood adventures and promises kept.
When it comes to pairing, this Chianti is a congenial companion to a broad array of dishes. Its balance of fruit and tannins makes it an excellent match for pork, enhancing the meat’s natural flavors. It’s equally at home at a barbeque, where its red fruit profile can stand up to hearty, smoky flavors. Pizza, a classic Italian staple, is also a natural fit for this Chianti, while its adaptability makes it an excellent choice for a variety of buffet foods, offering a sip of Tuscan sunshine with each glass.
