Le Cinciole Chianti Classico 2022
Historically there have always been two wines produced at Le Cinciole. The Chianti Classico 'Le Cinciole' which comes from Sangiovese across their 10 hectares planted between 400-500m above sea level, and 'Petresco' an IGT Toscana 100% Sangiovese from a single vineyard planted at 470m at the most optimal part of the property with a beautiful aspect.
In 2022 there is just the one wine - due to a significant hail storm that damaged the property, as such it was decided to produce the best wine possible as a Chianti Classico, and they've done just that!
Hand harvested - sorted, destemmed then crushed into concrete for fermentation which occurs naturally. Racked to older French wood of 2000L in size for malolactic fermentation and maturation of 12 months, prior to then returning to cement for another 12 months resting before bottling.
A mixture of heady briory fruits, red currants, classic Tuscan dried herbs, boot polish and an airy blackcurrant jelly crystal, transparent and pure - it's extremely traditional in the most positive manner, compact and correct, just beautiful Sangiovese aromatically. The palate continues to carry itself in such a traditional manner - red apple skin, brick dust, black cardamom and wood spice, finishing extremely mineral and with ample tension - a beautifully poised classic Chianti.
