Experience the essence of Tuscany with this vibrant Chianti Classico from Vallepicciola. This 2020 vintage showcases the bright and juicy character of Sangiovese, with aromas of red cherry, plum, and spice, followed by a well-balanced palate with refreshing acidity and a lingering finish. Great tannin structure. 

97 Points, Luca Gardini, gardininotes.com: “A Chianti Classico of extreme cleanliness, made with only Sangiovese grapes. Ruby of great brightness. Taut and vertical to the nose, with fruity hints of wild strawberry, balsamic-iodized touches and taggiasca olive on the finish. The taste is compact, rich, with saline tannins and light citrus returns. The closure is fresh and very drinkable.” 4/23

92 Points, James Suckling: "Fruity nose of wild strawberries, cherries, orange zest, lavender and rosemary. Medium-bodied with fine, tight tannins and bright acidity. Vibrant, floral and zesty. Excellent energy. Drink or hold..." 7/22
