Villa Saletta Chianti Superiore 2018 – Tuscany
Chianti with history, depth, and a modern touch. Villa Saletta Chianti Superiore 2018 comes from a 1,000-year-old Tuscan estate where tradition meets precision winemaking. This isn’t your everyday pizza-pasta Chianti, it’s richer, more structured, and beautifully expressive.
Crafted predominantly from Sangiovese, with a dash of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine marries juicy fruit with polished tannins and savoury elegance. Superiore status means longer ageing, giving it extra smoothness and complexity.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Cherry, redcurrant, and plum with earthy spice, leather, and dried herbs.
Palate: Medium-bodied and refined, sour cherry, cranberry, and subtle oak with fine tannins and bright acidity.
Finish: Smooth and lingering with spice, red fruit, and a savoury Tuscan edge.
A perfect partner for Tuscan classics: bistecca alla fiorentina, wild boar ragu, or aged pecorino.
A refined Tuscan red with cherry, plum, and spice. Smooth, structured, and food-friendly.
