Ipsus 2018 is a poised and deeply expressive Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, layering ripe red and black cherries and wild strawberry with hints of blue flowers, sweet spice, cedar and a subtle savory note. The palate is all about refinement: vivid acidity, succulent fruit and super-fine, long-chained tannins that glide rather than grip, giving the wine both early charm and a sense of serious structure. This vintage stands out for its combination of brightness, polish and depth, promising a long, graceful evolution in bottle.
Bistecca alla Fiorentina; Pappardelle al ragù di cinghiale; Aged Pecorino Toscano
