The 2021 Chianti Classico is a total knockout. Wild dark cherry, plum, incense, new leather and liquorice build as this deep, layered Chianti Classico shows off its beguiling personality. The 2021 is a gorgeous wine and also makes for a fabulous introduction to the range. - By Antonio Galloni on July 2025

With vineyards straddling the border between Montefioralle and Panzano, Vecchie Terre di Montefili reaches heights of 550 metres. The annata is crafted from the estate’s younger vines averaging 25 years of age. It ages in 30-hectolitre Slavonian oak casks. An intensely balsamic nose brandishes grilled sage and rosemary with roasted coffee and dusty earth tossed in. Tight and concentrated, the palate does hint at red berry purity, but for now it is somewhat obscured by vigorous, drying tannins. It demands more time – and some serious protein.
