La Cignozza makes Peregrinus as an IGT Sangiovese in the super-Tuscan style. It sits outside the DOCG rulebook, which lets the family chase depth and modern polish. It is 100% Sangiovese with a longer maceration, and more concentrated than the Chianti bottlings.

Mood: Polished, modern, bigger.

Our sommelier says
This is the bottle for customers who want an upgrade past the Chianti Riserva. The family and the vineyards are the same, with more freedom in the winery. It does well with serious meat dishes and a short time in the cellar.

Tasting notes

Black cherry and ripe plum come with mocha, dried herbs, and a wisp of cedar. The style is concentrated and modern, full-bodied with a plush mid-palate and fine-grained tannins. It is polished and long, and dark cherry and spice carry through.

Food pairing

Pair it with grilled ribeye, wild mushroom risotto, lamb shoulder, slow-cooked short ribs, or hard aged Italian cheeses.
