Istine - Chianti Classico 2022
Decanter: 92 Points
"Always a blend of estate vineyards in Radda and Gaiole, the 2022 incorporates Sangiovese from new acquisitions in Vagliagli and Lamole. It also sees the addition of 1% Malvasia Nera – Angela Fronti says she wanted to preserve the tradition of including a dash of other local varieties. Already quite forward in aromas, the just-bottled annata conveys dark red cherry infused with liquorice and grilled chestnut. Well defined and energetic, the palate progresses to ripe yet fresh raspberry with a crunchy bite, buoyed by abundant bright acidity and pervading fennel notes. Light, granular tannins just need a few more months to integrate."-Michaela Morris

"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."-Antonio Galloni
