When drinking Chianti, it is important to follow some simple rules to best appreciate its characteristics:
Serving temperature:
Chianti should be served at a temperature between 16°C and 18°C. For younger Chianti, a slightly lower temperature may be appropriate, while for Chianti Classico Riserva, a temperature closer to 18°C is ideal to enhance the aromatic complexity.Appropriate glass: It is advisable to use a red wine glass with a slightly wide opening, allowing the wine to oxygenate and release its aromas. The classic tulip-shaped glass is perfect for this type of wine.
Oxygenation: Before tasting, let the Chianti breathe for a few minutes after pouring it into the glass. This helps to develop and bring out the more complex aromas, especially for the more aged Chianti.
Gastronomic pairings:Chianti pairs perfectly with Tuscan dishes, such as Florentine steak, pasta with wild boar ragout, cured meats, aged cheeses and other meat dishes. Risotto and mushroom dishes also go well with this wine.
Tasting: While tasting, take time to appreciate the different aspects of the wine: color, aroma and flavor. Note the fruity, spicy tones and any wood notes from barrel aging.
By following these directions, you will fully enjoy the experience of drinking a good Chianti.
