Petriolo Chianti DOCG 2024 from Fattoria Petriolo in Tuscany is a classic, savoury Sangiovese‑led Chianti that offers plenty of authentic Tuscan character without being too heavy. Predominantly Sangiovese with a small dash of traditional blending grapes, it shows ruby colour and aromas of red cherry, red berry, dried herbs and a touch of violet and spice.

On the palate it is dry, medium‑bodied and harmoniously structured, with juicy cherry fruit, earthy undertones and a fine, slightly grainy tannin line that feels more food‑friendly than fierce. Fresh acidity keeps everything lively and gives the wine an 8–10 year ageing window, though it is delicious now with a short decant. It is very much in the “savory and classic” Chianti camp rather than rich, oaky modern styles.

This style is made for the table – think tomato‑based pastas, pizza, grilled sausages, ragu, roast chicken and simply cooked red meats. It also pairs beautifully with medium‑aged pecorino or hard cow’s milk cheeses, making Fattoria Petriolo Chianti DOCG 2024 a versatile house Tuscan for any night of the week.
