The 2019 Il Palei from Villa a Sesta is a classic expression of Chianti Classico with a modern polish. Crafted from Sangiovese, this wine opens with an elegant bouquet of ripe red cherries, blackcurrant, and wild herbs, layered with notes of dried rose petals, leather, and a touch of sweet tobacco.
On the palate, it's medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and finely integrated tannins. Flavors of sour cherry, red plum, and hints of blood orange are supported by earthy undertones and subtle spice from well-judged oak aging. The wine shows excellent balance and finesse, finishing with persistent notes of dried herbs, crushed stone, and a savory minerality.
Pure and succulent, featuring cherry, strawberry, rose, iron and tobacco aromas and flavors, this precise and beautifully balanced red reveals terrific energy, intensity and finesse. Still youthful, with excellent persistence and detail. Drink now through 2043.
