Serve Chianti Classico at a temperature between 16-18°C (60-64°F) to allow the aromas and flavors to fully express themselves. Avoid serving it too cold, as this can mute the fruit.
Glassware
Use a medium-bodied red wine glass with a slightly tapered rim to concentrate the aromas and allow for proper aeration.
Decanting (Optional)
For older vintages or wines with noticeable sediment, decanting can help to soften the tannins and improve the overall drinking experience. Allow the wine to breathe for 30-60 minutes before serving.
