"The Tenuta Il Palagio 2022 Chianti When We Dance (made from certified organic sangiovese and a tiny portion of canaiolo and colorino) is lively and punchy, with candied cherry and redcurrant aromas that come out nicely from the glass. No barrel aging is used. The easy Sangiovese character is perfect for gnocchi in a creamy cheese sauce. The finish is quite lean but fresh, with dry, mineral notes on the finish." (Wine Advocate 2024)

Note and review by M. MASSIMILIANO G. Published on 30/10/2024
Very good Chianti, nicely marked by the Sangiovese grape variety, with notes of red fruit and geranium on the nose, a fluid wine on the palate despite the presence of tannins, notes of red fruit, pepper, lovely freshness... Ideal with moussaka.
