Description
From the hills of Radda in the heart of Tuscany, Retromarcia Chianti Classico is a vivid expression of 100 % Sangiovese crafted by Famiglia Monte Bernardi with an eye toward purity and transparency. The name “Retromarcia,” Italian for “reverse gear,” reflects the estate’s return to traditional, low-intervention methods: organic vineyards, spontaneous fermentation, and maturation for one year in neutral oak and concrete to let the fruit speak for itself. In the glass the wine shines a brilliant ruby, releasing lifted aromas of crunchy red cherry, wild strawberry, and pomegranate layered with lilac, fresh rosemary, and a whisper of dusty terracotta. Lithe on the palate, it delivers mouth-watering acidity, fine chalky tannins, and a core of juicy fruit accented by notes of orange zest, clove, and forest floor that glide into a long, savory finish.
Versatile at the table, this 750 mL bottle partners beautifully with classic Bolognese, margherita pizza, grilled lamb chops, or a simple board of aged Pecorino and olives. Serve slightly cool, around 60 °F, to highlight its vibrant personality, and enjoy now for its youthful energy or cellar for five to seven years to watch the complexities unfurl.
