#24 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2022
Produced entirely from native grapes, it is a typical, medium-bodied Chianti Classico, with a distinguished personality and notable for its elegance and pleasantness. Luminous ruby red. Scents of cherry, raspberry, and sweet violets. Dry on the palate, showing subtle tannins and fresh, crisp acidity.
At its best when partnered with antipasti, full-flavored first courses, and most red meats.

This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper, and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish. Sangiovese, Colorino and Pugnitello. Drink now

A medium-to full-bodied Chianti Classico with fresh strawberries, grapefruit, raspberries, and a herbal undertone. This is juicy and transparent with a tight, tannic structure. Not austere, though.

The 2020 Chianti Classico is a soft, easygoing wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Sweet dried cherry, mint, spice, cedar, tobacco and incense give this mid-weight Chianti Classico lovely aromatic presence to match its mid-weight personality.
