Their name Riecine comes from its position between two local waterways (ri meaning between rivers) with their vineyards sitting high in the northern hills of Gaiole in Chianti, between 400 and 600 meters (1,300 to nearly 2,000) above sea level.  The estate has practiced certified organic farming since 2006, emphasizing soil health and natural biodiversity.  Fermentation relies entirely on natural ambient yeasts with gentle handling of the grapes. Vinification and aging heavily feature concrete tanks and clay amphorae rather than heavy oak, preserving the bright fruit, purity, and freshness of Sangiovese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2021 Riecine Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Gittori is their premier, single-vineyard 100% Sangiovese red wine, celebrated for its striking elegance, vibrant acidity, and profound aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"An absolutely stunning red, featuring ripe, juicy black cherry, blackberry, violet and mineral aromas and flavors. Well-defined, this persists on the layered and fruit-stained aftertaste, showing excellent harmony and length. Best from 2027 through 2045. 408 cases made, 100 cases imported.\" 97\/Highly Recommended  - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator (04\/2026)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The Gittori vineyard is on a terraced slope reaching 500 metres above sea level – the estate's highest plot which boasts 50-year-old vines. This Gran Selezione enchants with heady scents of liquorice, allspice, mint blossom and jasmine. It is sumptuous and laden with concentrated raspberry, cherry skins and accents evocative of forest growth. There are no hard edges as dense layers of suede-like tannins meld seamlessly, and bright acidity keeps it buoyant. Still wrapped up with youthful intensity, this should unravel slowly to reveal greater depths and detail as it ages. (Drink between 2026-2040)\" 96 - Michaela Morris, Decanter (02\/2024)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Wine Club","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48495146795266,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/1419\/7817\/files\/Screenshot2026-09-14161424.png?v=1789430710","url":"https:\/\/thewineclub.com\/products\/2021-riecine-chianti-classico-gran-selezione-vigna-gittori-750ml","provider":"The Wine Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
