Cinabro
Full-bodiedJammyLong finishSpicy
Cinabro is Casa alle Vacche's Chianti Riserva, produced only in the best vintages using the most mature and selected grapes. It's an important, structured wine with a complex and deep profile, designed for those who love the most intense and bold Tuscany.
Tasting Notes
Visually, it's deep ruby red. The bouquet is complex and rich: ripe black fruit, cassis, vanilla, sweet spices, and a touch of cocoa. On the palate, it's dry, austere, warm, with a significant structure. Bold yet well-integrated tannins, with a long and savory finish.
Food Pairings
Grilled red meats, game, braised meats, stews, aged and spicy cheeses. Excellent on its own, as a meditation wine.
Why Choose It
Cinabro is a wine for meditation and fine dining. Perfect for those seeking structure, intensity, and depth, but also balance and elegance. Ideal with substantial meat dishes, but also capable of winning you over on its own. A wine that tells the story of time and territory.
