Podere Le Cinciole Chianti Classico 2021 750ml

93 Points - Decanter

This gem of a producer located in Panzano should definitely be on your radar. Owners Luca Orsini and Valeria Vignano don’t seek the limelight; they concentrate on making focused and precise yet gracious wines. Vinified in cement with spontaneous fermentation then aged in 20hL French oak casks, the 2018 annata starts with liquorice and violet. It builds on the palate with minerally granite and dense, succulent cherry notes. Assertive chalky tannins bolster this vivacious, layered annata. It's worth tucking a few bottles away in the cellar
