Chianti Classico

Medium

Cork

Established in 2015, this new estate is comprised of three vineyards totalling 17 hectares all within the township of Gaiole. The sole Chianti Classico hails from holdings in the hamlet of Vertine and is raised in concrete. The 2021 lacks a bit of focus on the nose, hinting furtively at dried cherry and forest brush, yet there is lovely purity of fresh and crunchy dark berries on the palate. Thrillingly tart acidity speaks to the wine’s cool high-altitude origins, and a pleasant bitterness further stimulates the appetite. Zealous fruit tannins could do with another year in bottle – or open now and enjoy with duck pappardelle.
