Here are 3 recommended wine pairings for bistecca alla fiorentina. Click the button below to explore all options on the Verso app.
Brunello di Montalcino
Brunello di Montalcino is the cathedral pairing for bistecca alla fiorentina — only Montalcino's Sangiovese Grosso has the tannic structure and acidity to tame a 1 kg charcoal-seared Chianina T-bone, and its noble undergrowth converses with the rosemary and smoke.
Chianti Classico Riserva
Chianti Classico Riserva, the historic regional pairing for bistecca, delivers Sangiovese's freshness and firm tannins to balance the fat of a rare T-bone with Maldon salt, and its natural acidity refreshes the palate between each smoky bite.
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Tuscany's third great Sangiovese, offers an elegant Brunello alternative for bistecca — its polished tannins and plum-cherry fruit dress the Chianina T-bone without masking it, and its acidity remains essential against the intense fat.
