The organic 2023 Chianti Classico offers a lifted bouquet with tart cherry and wild raspberry. The effect is simple at first, like an overture before the concert, then the wine grows in complexity and depth. You will appreciate the fruit purity and the ensuing freshness obtained from this magical vineyard in San Casciano with its special mix of sand, silt and clay. The wine represents a selection of the best grapes from across the estate. Production is 7,960 bottles, 200 magnums and 10 double magnums. This is a very pretty wine. 94pts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I feel like a new benchmark for fine wine is being set by Maddalena Fucile and Matteo Vaccari of Cigliano di Sopra in San Casciano Val di Pesa. These young winemaking colleagues studied enology together in Florence and both worked with Sashi Moorman and Rajat Parr at Domaine de la Côte in California and at other prestigious wine estates in Italy. Winemaking is hands-on and artisanal in the stone underground cellar of Maddalena's family Tuscan villa. Farming is organic and biodynamic, and I want to underline the sheer excitement I feel for these wines and this promising up-and-coming estate.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther reviews:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This exuberant and characterful Chianti Classico sees a spontaneous fermentation with approximately 50% whole-bunch fruit and a maceration of 25 days. Ageing is in small used casks. The nose is an explosive abundance of spiced plum, wild blackberry and tarragon. There is satisfying fruit density as well as brightness, lightness and vigour. Preserved strawberry is infused with sweet herbs, and the pliant fruit tannins are well-embedded, giving further texture and a gracious grip. Zesty and persistent. Just 10,000 bottles made. \" 92 - Decanter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Wine Club","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47741709910274,"sku":null,"price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/1419\/7817\/files\/cdp_chianti_classico.png?v=1778196546","url":"https:\/\/thewineclub.com\/products\/2023-cigliano-di-sopra-chianti-classico-750ml","provider":"The Wine Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
