  The certified organic San Giusto a Rentennano 2020 Chianti Classico is a clever blend of 90% Sangiovese and 5% Canaiolo from a unique growing site in Gaiole in Chianti. This vintage absolutely stands out thanks to its ample and generous fruit profile, driven by a warm and sunny vintage. This sees steel, cement and oak. The wine travels over the palate with an elegant and velvety texture.

  This Gaiole estate sits near the southern tip of the Chianti Classico zone, on open rolling hills that are within sight of the towers of Siena. The vineyards stretch across several soil types, some dominated by marine sands, others with more clay. Winemaker Luca Martini di Cigali blends sangiovese and five percent of canaiolo from these different soils to make a wine with palate-saturating flavors of ripe cherry and orange peel framed by fine, sandpapery tannins. There’s an inner brightness that infuses the wine, driving the flavors even as the wine shows plenty of heft and body.

  The dark ruby 2020 Chianti Classico is ripe with aromas of black raspberry coulis, red flowers, sweet tobacco, and pine. Elegant and medium-bodied, it fills the palate with supple texture, fine tannins, and an even, well-balanced finish. This is a highly approachable wine that I would be fighting to pour by the glass if I were still running a wine program. Pure, classic, and balanced. Rating: 92+

  A dense red, with solid tannins and lively acidity supporting expressive cherry, raspberry, iron and earth flavors. Balanced, long and will benefit from food or another year or two of bottle age. Sangiovese and Canaiolo. Drink now through 2028.
