The 2022 Colombaio "Campale" Chianti is a vibrant Sangiovese from the heart of the Colli Senesi, the hills surrounding Siena. The "Campale" is made from 100% Sangiovese, fermented with native yeasts, and aged in concrete tanks to preserve the purity and freshness of the fruit. The nose is a classic Chianti bouquet of sour cherry, redcurrant, and raspberry, complemented by notes of violet, dried herbs, and a touch of Tuscan earth. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with lively acidity and fine, rustic tannins that provide excellent structure. The bright red fruit flavors are at the forefront, leading to a savory, slightly bitter finish that is characteristic of pure Sangiovese. This is a wonderfully food-friendly wine that captures the rustic soul of Chianti. It’s the perfect match for classic Italian dishes like pasta with ragù or grilled pork sausages with white beans.
