Le Cinciole Chianti Classico 2022

Introduction

This red wine originates from Italy, specifically from the Panzano subregion within the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany. Podere Le Cinciole has been owned and operated by Valeria Viganò and Luca Orsini since the early 1990s. Their winemaking philosophy is rooted in a deep respect for the land, focusing on organic practices and a non invasive approach to highlight the unique galestro soil of their high altitude vineyards.

Wine Description

Le Cinciole Chianti Classico displays a bright ruby red colour. The nose is expressive and elegant, offering aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and violet, layered with subtle notes of earth, spice, and 'sous bois'. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied and vibrant, featuring a core of juicy red fruit balanced by firm, chalky tannins and a refreshing acidity. It is characterized by its remarkable tension, purity of fruit, and a savory, mineral driven finish. This 100% Sangiovese wine has an ABV of 14% and is officially certified organic. The wine is aged in traditional large Slavonian oak barrels to maintain its freshness and regional identity.

Food Pairing

The high acidity and structured tannins of this Chianti Classico make it an ideal partner for traditional Tuscan cuisine. It pairs perfectly with grilled meats such as 'bistecca alla fiorentina', roasted lamb with rosemary, or wild boar ragout. Its bright fruit profile also complements tomato based pasta dishes, mushroom risotto, and aged cheeses like Pecorino Toscano.
