“Le Cinciole” Chianti Classico DOCG 2019 (BIO)
Floral aromas and the scent of bright red fruits, with undertones of tobacco, foliage and menthol, which develop in the glass into a successful terroir wine that preserves the fragrance and primary aromas of the young Sangiovese. Pleasantly medium-bodied and authentic. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2019 Chianti Classico is bright, floral and very expressive, but it also needs a lot of air to open up. Vibrant red/purple fruits, mint, spices and salty accents emerge with time. Le Cinciole's Chianti Classico is once again one of the appellation's most distinctive wines." Vinous
"Le Cinciole’s annata is a perennial overperformer and the 2019 shouldn’t be missed. Despite long ageing before release – first in cask, then concrete, and finally in bottle, it takes time to come out of its shell. Seductive truffle and forest floor slowly waft from the glass then give way to scented lavender, sage and dark red cherry. It flows effortlessly and energetically across the palate, with nervy, citrussy acidity providing the backbone. Chalky tannins are in the background making for an elegant frame." Decanter

“Aluigi” Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 2018 (BIO)
The deep Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, made from 100 percent Sangiovese from the Campo ai Peri small vineyard, exudes a pleasantly warm aroma with red berries, flowers, spices and liquorice. On the palate, an intense fruitiness in a delightful, fine texture, with a fresh acidity and great balance of extract sweetness, acidity and tannin. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Aluigi Campo ai Peri is a terrific follow up to the stellar 2016. Rich, deep and explosive, the Aluigi saturates the palate with dark fruit, leather, tobacco, spice, menthol and espresso notes. This ample, full-bodied Panzano Gran Selezione hits all the right notes. The marriage of elegance and pure power is compelling." Vinous

“Camalaione” Rosso Colli della Toscana Centrale IGT 2017 (BIO)
Camalaione - a powerful cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah - smells of dark fruits, menthol, smoke, liquorice and toasted oak. Deep and dense, with excellent persistence and remarkable evolution in the glass. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2017 Camalaione, Le Cinciole's Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot/Syrah blend, packs a huge punch. Blackberry, lavender, grilled herbs, chocolate and incense power through. There is plenty of intensity, but not exactly much elegance or finesse." Vinous

“Petresco” Rosso Colli della Toscana Centrale IGT 2018 (BIO)
Deep dark ruby red. Ripe notes of dried small currants and blackberries, plus some smoke and tobacco - this is Sangiovese in concentrated form. Lush and fleshy on the palate, with firm body, spicy nuances, multilayered fruit and a wonderful finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2018 Petresco is another stellar wine from Le Cinciole. Bright and focused, with striking explosive energy, Petresco sizzles with tension. Black cherry, coffee, spice, leather, incense, lavender and plum all run through a linear, driving pure Sangiovese that is going to need at least a few years to come together. There is a ton of potential here, but readers need to be patient." Vinous

"The 2016 Petresco, Le Cinciole's top Sangiovese, is fabulous. Rich black cherry, leather, spice, coffee and tobacco infuse the 2016 with real character. The 2016 is powerful and dense in the glass, with tremendous intensity and a real feeling of vertical thrust. There is so much to the 2016. Don't miss it." Vinous

Since the purchase of the estate in 1991, the owners have invested a lot in the renewal of the vineyards with better clones. At the same time they have changed the cultivation of the vineyards to environmentally friendly methods. Since 2002 the farm has been certified according to the CE regulation for organic farming. Luca and Valeria have chosen to cultivate almost exclusively Sangiovese on their land. Both are convinced that "only this autochthonous variety can be true Chianti Classico". The Latvian soils above a massive rocky base are particularly suitable for growing the dominant grape variety. In order to preserve the authenticity of the grapes, the vines are aged in wooden barrels to a lesser extent.
The two historical wines produced at Azienda Le Cinciole are the Chianti Classico "Le Cinciole" and the Chianti Classico Riserva "Petresco". The former contains a very low percentage of Canaiolo and is aged mainly in medium-sized barrels of summer oak. The Riserva, which matures in small barriques, is obtained from a selection of the finest Sangiovese grapes from the best sites. For the "Camalaione", a plot of land has been specially created with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. According to the estate owners, this wine should also reflect the special terroir of Panzano. SUPERIORE.DE
"The location ... in conjunction with the methods of vineyard management, which are carefully adapted to the terroir, result in plants that reflect this environment in a way that is as authentic as it is unique. Gambero Rosso 2010
