I Veroni Chianti Rufina Cru " I DOMI " DOCG

Hailing from the cool, high-elevation slopes of Chianti Rufina, this organic Sangiovese offers a fresh, vibrant expression of classic Tuscan craft. Balancing bright red cherry and wild berry fruit with savory earth and fine-grained tannins, it delivers authentic Italian character in every sip. It is an outstanding choice for anyone seeking an approachable, food-friendly Tuscan red that combines rustic charm with elegant, high-altitude finesse. Tasting Notes & Food Pairings The Profile: Vibrant aromas of spiced red cherry, wild raspberry, and white pepper lead into a savory, medium-bodied palate of ripe plum and subtle dried herbs, finishing with crisp acidity and chalky, elegant tannins. Classic Pairings: Traditional ragù alla Bolognese with pappardelle, roasted lamb chops with rosemary, or semi-hard cheeses like young Pecorino Toscano. Irish Favourite Pairings: Beef lasagne – the tomato sauce and rich meat filling work naturally with the wine's acidity. Sausages with champ and onion gravy – a simple, comforting Irish meal that makes a great match. Roast chicken with herbs and stuffing – a lovely alternative to red meat. How the wine is made Grown in the limestone and clay soils of the high-altitude "I Domi" vineyard, the grapes—predominantly Sangiovese alongside small portions of Canaiolo and Colorino—are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with pomace maceration for around 15 days to extract vibrant fruit and fine tannin structure. The wine is carefully aged in a blend of stainless steel and oak before bottle maturation, allowing its bright alpine-Tuscan fruit and natural mineral freshness to remain front and center. Why we love this producer Fattoria I Veroni is an ancient Tuscan estate with winemaking roots dating back to the 16th century, now passionately managed by the Malesci family. Tucked in the Chianti Rufina subzone northeast of Florence, their vineyards benefit from cool breezes coming off the Apennine mountains, creating dramatic day-to-night temperature drops that lock in freshness. We love their commitment to organic stewardship and single-vineyard precision, proving that traditional Tuscan winemaking can be both deeply authentic and delightfully refreshing.
