Chianti Mama DOCG 2023, La Certosa

Chianti DOCG “Mama” from Certosa di Belriguardo is a vibrant, ruby-red Tuscan wine, predominantly Sangiovese, showcasing classic cherry and plum aromas with subtle floral hints and spicy notes. It offers a balanced, medium-bodied palate with soft tannins and fresh acidity. It is designed for immediate, versatile enjoyment, pairing well with pasta and roasted meats.

• Producer: Certosa di Belriguardo (located in the Chianti region, near Siena).
• Varietal: Primarily Sangiovese, often blended with international varieties (like Merlot or Cabernet) to balance tannins.
• Profile: Intense ruby red colour. The bouquet features red fruits, specifically sour cherry and plum, with violet notes and slight spicy undertones.
• Taste: Harmonious, dry, and fresh with a velvety texture and light-to-medium tannins.
• Food Pairings: Excellent with traditional Italian dishes, including pasta with ragù, roast meats, and aged cheeses.
• Vintage Note: The 2023 harvest was marked by a dry summer and lower yields, resulting in smaller but healthy, high-quality grapes.

This wine is produced in a modern style that aims for elegance and immediate approachability, embodying the “Mama” persona as a comforting yet authentic Tuscan red.
