A wine with precise violet and iris scents with hints of blackberry at the back, and a long, juicy palate with a minerally finish. Paolo Cianferoni is the model of the grower-producer, with the intimate knowledge of and attachment to the terroir that comes with living the vineyard. He is no slouch in the cellar either, and is not afraid of challenging oenological conventions. His Chianti Classico ‘annata’ ferments with its own yeasts and ages not in oak but in cement vats. Pure drinking pleasure.

The 2021 Chianti Classico is a powerful wine. Dark, layered and beguiling, the 2021 has so much to offer. Macerated black cherry, licorice, new leather, cloves, incense and blood orange build as the 2021 opens in the glass. This is a very serious, hugely overachieving Chianti Classico from proprietor Paolo Cianferoni.
