Bottaro Chianti DOCG 2024 750ml

"A classic Tuscan Chianti with juicy cherry fruit, delicate florals and a fresh, savoury finish."

Bottaro Chianti DOCG 2024 is a terrific everyday Italian red that delivers everything we love about a good Chianti without the expensive price tag. It's bright, lively and full of juicy cherry flavour, with a little earthy character and those lovely fine tannins that make Sangiovese so enjoyable.

This is a lighter, more traditional style of red, with no heavy oak or overpowering richness. If you enjoy Italian wines with freshness and a bit of savoury character, Bottaro is a great little find. It's exactly the sort of bottle I'd open with a homemade pizza or a big bowl of pasta.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh red cherries, delicate violets and red berries, with subtle earthy notes.

Palate: Juicy cherry fruit with gentle savoury undertones, refreshing acidity and fine, approachable tannins. Medium bodied with lovely balance and freshness.

Finish: Clean and lively, with lingering red cherry, a touch of earthiness and a pleasantly dry finish.

Serving Suggestions

Chianti and Italian food are a match made in heaven, and Bottaro is no exception.

Try it with spaghetti bolognese, lasagne, wood fired pizza or a good tomato based pasta dish. It's also excellent alongside roast chicken, grilled sausages, lamb chops and a simple antipasto platter.

A great wine to keep on hand for midweek dinners or a relaxed Sunday lunch.

About The Producer

Bottaro is a Chianti project guided by Italian winemaker Sabino Russo, with the aim of producing an authentic Tuscan red that offers genuine quality and excellent value.

The wine brings together Sangiovese from selected vineyards throughout the Chianti DOCG region, particularly the hills around Pisa, Florence and Siena.

Rather than focusing on heavy oak or powerful extraction, Bottaro celebrates the natural freshness and bright fruit character of Sangiovese.

Chianti is one of Italy's most famous wine regions, known for reds with lively cherry flavours, savoury complexity and refreshing acidity.

The DOCG classification recognises Chianti's protected origin and traditional production standards, making Bottaro an appealing introduction to this celebrated Tuscan wine style.

Cellaring Potential

Bottaro Chianti DOCG 2024 is made for enjoying while its cherry fruit and floral aromas are fresh and lively.

We recommend drinking it now through to approximately 2028 rather than putting it away for extended cellaring.
