    At first glance, it is the estate's base wine – but on closer inspection, it proves that Vecchie Terre di Montefili has no equal. In 1975, Roccaldo Acuti bought the neglected slopes above Panzano and planted pure Sangiovese, bucking the trend of those years. Since 2015, winemaker Serena Gusmeri has been running the 12.5-hectare estate on behalf of three American owners, guided by the motto: "Every vineyard is like a child of its own". The grapes grow at altitudes of between 480 and 550 metres on galestro, alberese, limestone and clay, which lend the Sangiovese freshness without detracting from its power. After hand-harvesting and spontaneous fermentation, it matures briefly on the skins, then in large wooden casks rather than in barriques.

    A deep cherry red with violet highlights. On the nose: cranberry, dark cherry, violets and damp earth. Tight on the palate, with fine-grained tannins and a refreshing acidity; the finish reveals a spicy note of dried herbs. A Chianti Classico that does not boast of its high altitude, but reveals it directly in the glass. SUPERIORE.DE

    "The Chianti Classico 2022 is a wild, powerful wine. Notes of macerated dark cherries, coffee, dried herbs, incense and charred earth unfold as this robust, powerful Chianti Classico reveals its character." Vinous
