Le Maestrelle sets itself apart as a Tuscany IGT blend offering premium character at value. The mix of Sangiovese, Merlot and Syrah gives complexity, while the producer’s heritage ensures quality. It’s perfect for customers wanting Tuscan flavour without top-tier pricing — rich, balanced and sophisticated.
Tasting Notes
A luminous pale gold in the glass. Aromas of green apple, pear, and white peach mingle with notes of vanilla, almond, and subtle spice from the oak. On the palate, the wine is supple and layered, juicy pear and lemon curd up front, followed by soft creaminess and a whisper of toasted hazelnut. Mid-palate weight is beautifully supported by crisp acidity, leading to a long, elegant finish with delicate oak and mineral freshness.
Food Pairing
This Chardonnay’s versatility makes it a table favourite. Pair it with grilled sea bass, butter-poached prawns, or roast chicken with herbs. It also complements creamy risottos, mushroom pastas, or seafood in light cream sauce. For a Kenyan touch, try it with tilapia in coconut curry or creamy vegetable stew.
Description
This wine brings together Tuscany’s celebrated heritage and modern blend-craft. Le Maestrelle combines the backbone of Sangiovese with the richness of Merlot and the spice of Syrah to deliver a red that is both bold and refined. Expect generous fruit, subtle savoury notes and a finish that holds attention. It’s a wine that offers access to Tuscan character without the price tag of top-tier Chianti Classicos making it ideal for both everyday enjoyment and elevated evenings.
