Tasting notes
The San Giusto a Rentennano 2023 Chianti Classico is 95% Sangiovese with 5% Canaiolo in a supporting role. This organic wine is punchy and bright with blueberry, blue flower and iris. It offers pretty freshness over a mid-weight palate and remains approachable for near-term drinking. If you are looking for a Chianti Classico at this price point, this is an ideal choice. It ages in a mix of large oak cask, tonneaux and barrique for 10 months. Production is 44,532 bottles.

The 2023 Chianti Classico is terrific. In fact, it is one of the most complete wines of the year. Dark cherry fruit, leather, cedar, menthol and lavender all take shape in the glass. The 2023 is dense but not heavy. Even so, I would give it a few years to shed some baby fat. It's an impeccable wine in a challenging year.
Gaiole. 95% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo. Certified organic. Cask sample. Mid ruby. Savoury and minerally and with slumbering raspberry fruit. Suave fruit over a layer of coating tannins. Long and with fantastic balance, while the tannins demand more time. (WS)
