chianti classico DOCG 2022

Extreme climatic conditions: persistent drought and heat (from December 2022-August 2023), with few interruptions. Change in weather in mid-August with hailstorms and cloudbursts. Good September. 8 days of torrential rain at the end of September. Some grape losses, very low yields (too hot for too long). Wines surprisingly fresh and fruity at racking, very dark in colour.

The Chianti Classico 2022 has an impressive olfactory impact, as if you were sticking your nose into a basket of fresh fruit. The drinkability is lean, satisfying. Acidity and tannins are balanced, pleasant persistence on the palate. Already a very enjoyable wine, bottle ageing will perfect it further.
