Premio

2006 Chianti Sangiovese

The 2006 Premio Premio is a captivating expression of Sangiovese hailing from the renowned Chianti region. This elegant red wine boasts a full-bodied profile, offering a delightful balance with vibrant acidity that dances on the palate. Its fruit intensity shines through with prominent notes of ripe cherry and blackberry, complemented by subtle undertones of dried herbs and earthiness, typical of the terroir. The tannins are notable yet refined, providing structure and depth while allowing the wine's bright character to emerge gracefully. This Premio Premio is wonderfully dry, making it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes, particularly those featuring rich sauces or savory meats, enhancing the overall dining experience with its characteristically Chianti charm.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
