The 2021 Chianti Classico is a fabulous introduction to this range from Le Cinciole. Brisk acids and veins of tannin give the 2021 its shape and plenty of overall energy. Expressive floral and savory overtones lend tons of character. The 2021 was vinified in cement and aged in cask for a year, followed by a year in cement. This mid-weight Chianti Classico is a winner.

Notes

Situated in the heart of Chianti Classico, Le Cinciole is an estate committed to organic farming and producing wines that reflect the purity of their terroir. Their Chianti Classico is a standout, crafted from 100% Sangiovese grown on the hills of Panzano, one of the finest subzones in the region. Known for its finesse and balance, this Chianti Classico is an elegant expression of traditional Tuscan winemaking. The wine opens with classic aromas of ripe cherry, wild berries, and hints of violet, characteristic of Sangiovese. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with lively acidity and fine tannins, offering flavors of red currant, plum, and subtle notes of herbs and leather. The mineral backbone and a touch of spice from aging in large oak casks enhance the wine’s complexity, leading to a long, harmonious finish with a refreshing hint of earthiness.
