Tasting notes
Bright and lively on opening, the 2022 Chianti Classico leads with aromas of wild strawberries, candied flowers, tangerine, and white pepper. Linear and medium-bodied, it is focused on the palate, with refreshing acidity, fine tannins, and energetic drive through the finish. A lovely entry in the range, it has a to offer now or over the next 5-7 years. 55,000 bottles were produced.

This opens with an earthy, slightly spicy nose of dark berries, crushed herbs and hints of leather and wet stones. The juicy and savory palate has a medium body with vivid acidity and a polished texture. Simple but juicy and flavorful. Drink now.
The 2022 Chianti Classico is juicy, forward and delightful. A burst of sweet red cherry fruit, rose petal, spice and orange peel gives the 2022 tons of immediacy. The 2022 looks to be an early-drinking wine.
Radda. 100% Sangiovese. Cask sample. Deep, lustrous crimson. Brooding cherry with minerally hints. Great purity on the nose. Energetic, tangy fruit layered with grainy tannins. The fruit is light of touch yet very long. (WS)
