Description
Filippo Chia, the highly acclaimed producer of top-quality Brunello di Montalcino, also makes a beautiful, classic Chianti Colli Senesi in his cellars. The vineyards are situated in the hills surrounding beautiful Siena and have been known for centuries for their exceptionally good terroir.

Using the same quality standards and cellar techniques as for his Brunello production, Filippo extracts the maximum from his 'Colli Senesi grapes'. In addition to the regular range, at our request, he produced an exclusive bottling of his Chianti aged in newer barrels and featuring more roundness in flavor.

The 85% Sangiovese content was supplemented with Syrah and Merlot, giving the wine a delicious extra fullness. Aging in 5,000-liter Slavonian oak barrels completes it perfectly.

This beautiful red Tuscan has a distinguished origin and tastes round and accessible. Not to be missed if you love fine Italian wines. Incidentally, you can recognize the special bottling by the 'Chia' label created by the famous Italian artist and Filippo's father, Sandro Chia.

Drinks with
Intense, oak-aged red wine to be enjoyed par excellence at the table, for example with lasagna bolognese, mushroom risotto, or ossobuco.

Tasting note
Ruby-red colored wine with a refined aromatic expression of plum, black cherry, clove, bay leaf, and oak. The taste is powerful and luscious with sun-drenched fruit, fresh acidity, and firm tannins. Lingering finish with toast and tobacco.

Shelf life
Drink from 2 years; keeps for approximately 7 years after harvest.
