Chianti Classico DOCG 2021
Open-hearted, very appealing bouquet of tart berry fruit, forest floor, bitter almond, blue flowers and grilled herbs.

A classic from Castellina in Chianti, rich in finesse every year and unbeatable with white meat dishes and sugos. SUPERIORE.DE

Refreshing and lively on the palate, pleasantly savoury, ripe, well-integrated tannins, vibrant acidity, juicy and animating through to the final." Falstaff

"The Chianti Classico Fonterutoli 2021 comes from a vintage that delivered great results throughout the region.

This added intensity is part of the house style and a little gift for those who appreciate more meat on the Sangiovese bones." Wine Advocate

"Transparent straw yellow with persistent perlage. Elegant nose of pear, apple and meadow flowers. Pleasant fruity flavours on the palate with a fine perlage and final refreshing final." Falstaff

"Dark ruby; cooked wild berries, arouses curiosity; juicy, clear tannin, cherry fruit, crisp, good length." Merum
"Very intense dark violet colour. Intense aromas of sour cherries and plums on the nose, accompanied by notes of leather and white pepper. In the mouth it is powerful but balanced, very drinky, also thanks to a fine tannin structure, persistent and savoury." Falstaff
"Deep carmine red colour. Brooding and muted fruit with a hint of leather. Fluid, elegant and juicy. Long and supple, with finely polished tannins. A truly elegant Nero d'Avola of the new school." Jancis Robinson
"The Saia 2020 is seductively dark and opens with a blend of red plums, sage, smoke and tangerine peel. It is soft and round and shows ripe red and blue fruits, sweet herbs and dark chocolate. The juicy acidity ensures that the 2020 finishes long and pleasantly acidic. Traces of sour citrus fruits slowly fade away. This incredibly beautiful Nero d'Avola wants to please." Vinous
"A wine with deep, earthy cherry and herb scents, and a rich, vertical palate of sweet black and red fruits and potpourri fragrance allied to good acidity and fine, sandy tannins. The barriques peek through with their coffee, liquorice and spice, but this is ultimately a fresh, gastronomic Nero d'Avola, well sculpted and flexible with food." Decanter
"This medium to full-bodied red wine is well-structured and balanced, with a slight hint of balsamico acidity that enlivens concentrated flavours of blackberry, roasted plum, violet, espresso and smoke. The fine tannins provide fine definition and firm up the slightly chalky finish." Wine Spectator
"The organically certified 2020 Sicilia Saia is a pure Nero d'Avola from one of the most beautiful areas of rural Sicily in Noto. This red wine shows medium concentration with dark fruits, ripe cherries, black olives and sweet earthy tones. It is richly structured and finishes with soft, sweet tannins. This is a great wine for the kitchen." Wine Advocate
"Aromas of black liquorice, crushed plums and ground spices. Medium to full body with powdery but firm tannins. Fresher and crisper than previous vintages. The red and black fruits on the palate are nicely articulated by a steady acidity and some mineral notes." James Suckling
"Pure Nero d'Avola from the area between Noto and Pachino, 14 months in French barriques, a wine of great stature. On the nose, notes of blackberries, violets and a hint of juniper on the finish. Compact and juicy on the palate, with brackish tannins, fruity flavours and a long, spicy finish." Luca Gardini

Chianti Classico DOCG 2021 (BIO)
Every year, Istine's Chianti Classico is one of the most racy and authentic representatives of its genre. Its weightlessness and at the same time precision make up a large part of its appeal. A finely knit bouquet of red berries, flowers, chalk and white pepper. Medium-bodied on the palate, its fine fruit, creamy tannins and plenty of personality come to light with further aeration. A red wine that takes hearts by storm with its lively, dancing and extremely fine nerve! SUPERIORE.DE
"Medium-intense red; subtly red-fruity, slightly spicy, arouses curiosity; sweetness, juicy, clear acidity, fruit, good tannin, pleasing." (JLF) Merum
"A lively, straightforward red wine that produces flavours of black cherries, blackberries, liquorice and spices. Rich and dense, with a lively structure, it finishes with generous fruit and spice flavours." Wine Spectator
"The Chianti Classico 2021, which has just been bottled, captures all the energy of the year in its bright, red fruit. Blood orange, mint, white pepper and lively acidity give the Chianti Classico a remarkable energy that sparkles with excitement. All of this is underpinned by plenty of fruit. Bright salty notes extend the finish wonderfully." Vinous
"A crisp, spicy and fruity Classico. Small red fruits on the nose, especially pomegranate, amoral notes of marjoram, iris tones on the finish. Juicy mouthfeel, nice spice and tension, fruity again on the finish." Luca Gardini

“Berardenga” Chianti Classico DOCG 2021
Sangiovese in its purest form: bright ruby colour with a broad garnet rim. Rich in fruity and floral aromas, multi-layered, herbal, deep and well-polished with further development potential. A full-bodied and harmonious Chianti Classico with a highly authentic and very inviting style. SUPERIORE.DE
"Animating cherry, cassis and herbs, shows its pithy side with a bite, salty vein and tart charm, is robust and lingers for a long time. The classic from the south of the growing region." Weinwisser
"Firm and quite dense, yet fine, somewhat smoky-roasted aroma of ripe black and some red berries with cherry nuances, tobacco, nutty and cedar flavours as well as a hint of tar in the background. Ripe, tart, juicy, tightly knit fruit, present, fine sandy tannins and a noticeable acid bite, smoky-roasted flavours on the palate, tobacco and cedar tones, persistent, certain depth, chalky-salty minerality in the background, still undeveloped and somewhat drying, but with substance and noble juice, very good, firm, grippy, spicy and tart-juicy finish." Wein-Plus
"Sparkling ruby red with a slightly brightening rim. Fresh raspberries and strawberries on the nose, then a touch of forest floor and sour cherry. Fresh and juicy on the palate, with well-integrated tannins, long and fruity final." Falstaff
"Brilliant ruby red colour. Deep cherry flavour with dark spice notes. Concentrated, supple and full-bodied. Impressive structure with powdery tannins that have yet to settle." Jancis Robinson
"The Fèlsina 2021 Chianti Classico Berardenga has a savoury or crisp side that I often find in Sangiovese. There's a lot of fruit brightness here with cassis, red cherries, minerals, dried tobacco and grilled rosemary. This is an easy-drinking Tuscan red wine with a natural acidity and brightness that goes well with a classic lasagne or aubergine parmigiana." Wine Advocate
"The 2021 begins with smoky nuances, earth and subtle oak, before moving into fragrant mint and thyme. It is concentrated and ripe, but balanced by freshness and vibrancy. The underlying firmness gradually dissipates to reveal a spicy finish of dried tomatoes." Decanter
"The Chianti Classico Berardenga 2021 is impetuous and expressive right from the glass. Dark fruits, earthy notes, leather, spices and tobacco convey the character of Castelnuovo Berardenga in tonnes. The wine gets better and better in the glass. It's a super-classic example of the house style and a wine to buy by the case. The Berardenga bottling can be a little wild, but in 2021 it has an added touch of sophistication that is undeniable." Vinous
"A firm and silky red wine with aromas and flavours of cherries, dried flowers and orange peel. It is medium-bodied with fine tannins and a fresh and concentrated finish. It still needs some time to mellow, but I'm already enjoying its energy." James Suckling
"Red raspberries on the nose, a hint of wild sage and a floral finish with nuances of lavender. The drinkability is crisp and juicy, good persistence with a return of the Taggiasca olive." Luca Gardini

“Rubiolo 30 anni” Chianti Classico DOCG 2021 (BIO)
Chianti Classico Rubiolo shows its delicately spicy side on the nose with cloves, cinnamon, lavender, wild dark cherries and blackberries that are beautifully ripe but not overripe. There are also floral hints. The fruit for this extremely good value wine comes from Castellina and Panzano, whereby the fullness and richness of the Panzano region are clearly noticeable. The finish is soft and velvety. It is the exceptional balance of the wine that really sets it apart. SUPERIORE.DE
"Medium to deep carmine red colour. Concentrated, full yet cool nose of cherry fruit. Spicy cherry fruit with a layer of grainy tannins. Great balance and length." Jancis Robinson
"The Chianti Classico Rubiolo 2021 is a soft, fruity wine that should be drunk now and over the next few years as long as the flavours remain vibrant. Juicy red cherry fruit, orange peel, mint and white flowers burst from the glass. This exuberant, juicy Chianti Classico is a delight." Vinous
"Aromas of ripe red fruit, liquorice, spices and pink peppercorns. Medium to full-bodied, juicy and exciting with lively acidity and polished tannins. Notes of walnuts and savoury herbs on the finish." James Suckling
"The 2021 Chianti Classico Rubiolo from organic farming is a wine with an excellent value. The wine is made exclusively from Sangiovese from three vineyards in Castellina, Panzano and Badia a Passignano. The wine has a dark ruby red colour, and although the aromatic intensity is not very pronounced, there are delicately fragrant notes of cherry, raspberry and blood orange that are powerful and bright to the touch. There are also beautiful floral notes." Wine Advocate
"The idea of drinkability and home freshness, without sacrificing complexity. The nose is faceted, red currant with touches of wild mint and nuances of carnation. The mouthfeel is savory, with hints of small red fruits and a balsamic-floral return." Luca Gardini

Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG 2020 (BIO)
Salcheto's sparkling garnet-red Vino Nobile delights us with its fragrant aroma of dried plum and a hint of cinnamon and clove. Lots of present fruit on the palate, with a fine, sweet melting flavour and a long finish. An authentic and pleasantly elegant organic wine from the heart of the Montepulciano region that is ready to drink when young. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright ruby red colour. A nose of juicy cherries and a hint of dried rose petal, with an aftertaste of black bread. Radiant red berry fruit on the palate, creamy, with full-bodied tannins and a clear expression, with a fine juiciness on a sparse finish." Falstaff
"The 2020 Nobile di Montepulciano opens with a classic blend of dusty black cherries, cedar shavings, worn leather and sour citrus notes. It has a soft texture and a cool note, with savoury red fruits and cedar spice accompanied by lively acidity. It finishes long and lightly textured, leaving a bitter aftertaste as the violet florals fade inside." Vinous
"Ripe flavours of preserved cherries, plums, leather, almonds and loam, underpinned by a dense layer of tannins. Stays within the boundaries and lingers nicely." Wine Spectator
"Rich, spicy red fruit with iron, liquorice, dry earth and orange peel. Firm, dusty tannins with dry, spiced berries on a structured, medium to full-bodied palate. Good finish with mineral notes on the final. Sangiovese. From organically grown grapes. Long-lasting." James Suckling
"Finesse instead of power, a finesse that refines the qualities of outstanding fruit. Floral on the nose, with notes of peony, red blackberry and pepper leaf, nutmeg on the finish. The first impression is confirmed on the palate, iodised, crisp, persistent, with a fruity finish." Luca Gardini
"Bright ruby red colour. A nose of juicy cherries and a hint of dried rose petal, with an aftertaste of black bread. Radiant red berry fruit on the palate, creamy, with full-bodied tannins and a clear expression, with a fine juiciness on a sparse finish." Falstaff
"The nose is defined by a delicate sweetness, while undertones of clove and orange peel nuance the leading flavours of vanilla and strawberry, followed by a hint of black pepper. On the palate, the fruit dominates, but a hint of that bitter, spicy element lingers until the warm, acidic finish." Wine Enthusiast

“Petrignano” Chianti Classico DOCG 2020 (BIO)
Dievoles Chianti Classico Petrignano is the result of the endeavour to highlight the identity characteristics of particularly suitable vineyards, leading to ever more precise expressions of Sangiovese. Petrignano is the name of a characteristic area with a soil rich in minerals and stones. At an altitude of around 330 metres, rocks protrude from the ground that are typical of the geological formation of Monte Morello. The abundance of stones, the depth of the roots and the low growth of the vines result in an expressive and lush wine from this characteristic and authentic cru site.
Intense ruby red colour. Very appealing bouquet dominated by ripe fruit, cherry and blackberry flavours. Juicy, full and rich on the palate, with flavours of blackberries and ripe fruit. Warm and velvety finish with fine and soft tannins that are very accentuated and interwoven with the fine acidity structure. SUPERIORE.DE
"Brilliant medium ruby red with orange reflections. Lively cherry nose with some signs of development and hints of tobacco leaf and sweet spice. Flavoursome, juicy cherry fruit and crisp tannins. More energetic on the palate than on the nose, and that's where it hits the spot." Jancis Robinson
"Dark forest fruit with an earthy character offers great appeal. High acidity and tannins with very good length." Decanter
"This is a new addition to the Dievole portfolio with a cool retro-style label. The Chianti Classico Petrignano 2020 from organic farming is made from 100% Sangiovese, fermented in cement tulips and aged for 12 months in large oak barrels. The winemaking process is simple and to the point. The results show a vibrant freshness and a beautiful purity of fruit with a concentrated finish." Wine Advocate
"A supple red, imbued with a ray of cherry and strawberry fruit, with a texture that is silky at first, only to be overtaken by firm, dusty tannins. The finish reveals almond, earth and herbal notes that linger for a long time. Give it time for the two halves to come together." Wine Spectator
"A delicious, crisp red with very fine tannins and a lovely, delicate finish. Very tasty and with a creamy texture. Fresh finish." James Suckling
"From soils with a great limestone component, in particular Alberese, a pure Sangiovese with a blackberry aroma, hints of citron thyme and orange zest, then a finish with floral notes. Compact and dense palate, citrus-officinal return." Luca Gardini

Chianti Classico DOCG 2022 (BIO)
Dense with complex fruit flavours, lots of extract, soft, mouth-filling, unusually velvety and enveloped in gentle tannins. Matured in small barriques of old and new oak and in traditional Tuscan wooden barrels. Riecine has been producing one of the most subtle Chianti Classico wines for years - a marvellous wine. SUPERIORE.DE
"Brilliant ruby red colour. Perfumed, concentrated cherry nose with a hint of spice. Juicy and concentrated fruit, with fine, firm tannins, while the acidity becomes slightly tart on the finish." Jancis Robinson
"Exuberantly fragrant, with pomegranate, watermelon and a hint of rose. Fleshy berries fill out the core, but remain crisp and crunchy. It has a lovely clarity and plenty of zesty acidity. Light yet taut tannins create a clean frame." Decanter
"The nose is dominated by red fruits and flowers, but herbs and other savoury notes also make themselves known. In contrast, the palate is full of cherries and berries, creating a bright, exuberant feel that is enhanced by ample acidity, with dense, chalky tannins keeping things in check." Wine Enthusiast
"The Chianti Classico 2022 from Riecine is fabulous. It is followed by an explosion of red cherries, blood oranges and fragrant floral notes that give it freshness and brightness. The purity of the fruit is ravishing. This lively, savoury Chianti Classico is an absolute stunner. It is one of the outstanding wines of the year." Vinous
"A round, juicy and lively Chianti Classico with cherries, candied raspberries and mild spices on the nose, leading into a medium body with fine tannins and bright acidity. Lively character, with a juicy and lively finish." James Suckling,
"Red raspberries on the nose, with hints of wild mint and lime, lashes of bloodroot and cloves. The mouthfeel is fruity, with a hint of menthol. It closes with notes of citrus." Luca Gardini

“La Grola” Rosso Veronese IGT 2020
La Grola is the eponymous, historic vineyard where Corvina, the indigenous grape of Valpolicella, is believed to have originated. The replanting of the vineyard by Giovanni Allegrini triggered an agronomic revolution and laid the foundations for the success of this wine-growing region, which today stands for convincing, great red wines from north-east Italy.
Dense, dark ruby red in colour, very rich and powerful on the nose with notes of wild and overripe berries. The rich fullness of coffee to black cherries is underlined by present, pleasant tannins. SUPERIORE.DE
"Rich ruby colour with a dark core and fine garnet-red rim. Multi-layered bouquet of dark chocolate, cassis, underpinned by fine spice. Velvety texture on the palate, harmonious and round, concentrated fruit and pronounced length." Falstaff
"Bright cherry red. Quite a reticent nose but masses of flavour on the palate with attractive bitterness after dried cherry fruit and a hint of charcoal. Quite a bit of texture here and a chewy, long finish. I wouldn't recommend drinking it without food. It's quite a statement!" Jancis Robinson
"The 2020 La Grola shows ripe fruit, some herbal notes in the background, liquorice, tar and gentle spices. This simple red wine has a slightly wild side with fresh acidity and a whistling, clean finish. La Grola paints a more concentrated picture of Corvina, a grape usually used in traditional Amarone blends." Wine Advocate
"Dark, brooding and complex, the 2020 La Grola tantalises the imagination with notes of spiced blood orange, cloves, dark chocolate and dried black cherries. It has a soft texture and more verve than expected, with lively acidity and a wave of tart wild berries that slowly saturate. The wine finishes with tension, with a primary concentration of fine-grained tannins that linger. The 2020 is an intense La Grola that will require patience." Vinous
"An elegant red wine with fine tannins that blend seamlessly with the ripe flavours of black and red cherries. Accents of smoked tobacco, rosehip, cocoa powder and aniseed run through the fruit profile, and a subtle, mineral hint of fresh earth and iron lingers on the finish." Wine Spectator
"La Grola has been an integral part of the Allegrini family since 1989. This blend of 90% Corvina and 10% Oseleta opens with aromas of black plums, preserved black cherries, cloves, cinnamon, black pepper and violets. As the wine progresses, notes of cedar, cigar box and tobacco develop. On the palate, rich, black-coloured fruit dances with taut, well-structured tannins, while savoury and earthy notes add to the fascination." Wine Enthusiast
"A single vineyard whose fruit comes from a historically important site that is quite steep and calcareous and slopes down towards the Adige. No dried grapes. The tannins of the Oseleta are hard, firm and powerful on the attack. However, the mid-palate is round and energetic, softening any impression of stiffness as it expands aniseed, mint, leather varnish and dark, saturated berry fruit. This is a very good wine made for the cellar." James Suckling
"Podere La Grola, Sant'Ambrogio in Valpolicella, Corvina with a small proportion of Oseleta, which undergoes malolactic fermentation and matures in barriques. Liquorice, blackberry jam and lime on the nose, salty-sweet on the palate, with a fruity finish and slightly iodised final." Luca Gardini

“Pian delle Vigne” Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2021
Deep, dark ruby red colour. Black and small red berries on the nose, plus some leather, tobacco and herbal spice. Fine, black-fruity extract sweetness on the palate, rounded off with herbs and spices, the well-built tannins provide a certain pressure and strength, in the finish its multi-layered components combine with fresh acidity to create a very drinkyred that never denies its origin and grape variety. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright ruby red colour. Red cherry and strawberry candy on the nose, with pepper and a delicate vegetal touch. Medium-bodied on the palate, shows beautiful juiciness, still young tannins, with a pithy final." Falstaff
"First tart and bright with dried cranberries, cherries and orange peel on the nose, then aromas of damp earth, mushrooms, old leather and cigar wrapper take over with just a whisper of vanilla bean. The palate offers blackberries, dark chocolate and notes of forest floor ignited by heat and acid." Wine Enthusiast
"From the characteristic clay-limestone soils of Pian delle Vigne comes a red wine that is characterised by juiciness and freshness. On the nose, redcurrants with a hint of thyme and juniper. The palate is taut and savoury, with a fruity finish and a pleasant aftertaste." Luca Gardini

“Brolio” Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2020
Everything is just right here: Brolio Riserva is classic in its composition, in its ageing, in its overall impression from the label to the last sip. Velvety, dense ruby colour, dense nose with rich fruit, especially blackberry, some elderberry and a beautiful herbal spice. Juicy and supple on the palate, the finish is polished with fine-grained tannins and a long-lasting final. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright ruby red colour. Dark berries on the nose, fine, spicy notes with a blood orange aftertaste. Medium structure on the palate, polished, present tannins, fresh acidity, lingering finish." Falstaff
"This Chianti Classico is a savoury version with aromas of green olive, tomato leaf, iron and tobacco clustered around a core of macerated cherry fruit. Although lean and sinewy, it is also intense and focused, with a lingering aftertaste that feels the pull of both the savoury and fruity sides." Wine Spectator
"A firm and fresh Chianti Classico with a light to medium body, sour cherries, orange peel and hints of sandalwood. Crunchy finish." James Suckling
"The 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva Brolio is a dark, brooding wine. Black cherry, licorice, sage, tobacco, incense and leather fill out the layers as this strapping Riserva shows off its imposing personality. This is nicely done." Vinous
"In the bottle with the black label, this is a very pretty, relatable and well-priced wine from Tuscany. Made with 100% Sangiovese, the 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva Brolio offers blueberry, plum and sweet spice thanks to 18 months of tonneaux aging. I especially appreciate the wine's pronounced mineral signature that gives the wine a salty or savory side, which is perfect for food pairing." Wine Advocate
"Its versatile aroma is reminiscent of redcurrants, Mediterranean maquis, peony and pepper leaf. Sip with powerful tannins, tension and juiciness, finish with a fruity-floral return." Luca Gardini
