"The 2023 Chianti Classico is gorgeous. Aromatic and light on its feet, with remarkable purity, the 2023 has a lot to recommend it. Lifted aromatics, silky tannins and bright, red-toned fruit all convey nuance and understatement. More Less

"The 2023 Chianti Classico is gorgeous. Aromatic and light on its feet, with remarkable purity, the 2023 has a lot to recommend it. Lifted aromatics, silky tannins and bright, red-toned fruit all convey nuance and understatement. This is a very pretty wine" - A Galloni, Vinous. Fine bone china style of Chianti. A nose with hints of pencil lead and delicate spice with raspberry and cola, a touch of mahogany, tobacco leaf and leather. The palate is lovely and fine to drink. A Sangiovese with fine focus. Excellent finesse. Good length. Fine, sappy tannins. This is smart.
From the Press
Just mid crimson. Lifted, concentrated and perfumed raspberry nose with a hint of morocco leather. Supple raspberry and cherry palate with cinnamon-bark notes and coating tannins. Very long, concentrated, juicy and finely balanced.

Walter Speller (JancisRobinson.com)

The nose is an explosive abundance of spiced plum, wild blackberry and tarragon. There is satisfying fruit density as well as brightness, lightness and vigour. Preserved strawberry is infused with sweet herbs, and the pliant fruit tannins are well-embedded, giving further texture and a gracious grip. Zesty and persistent.

Michaela Morris, Decanter

I feel like a new benchmark for fine wine is being set by Maddalena Fucile and Matteo Vaccari of Cigliano di Sopra in San Casciano Val di Pesa. These young winemaking colleagues studied enology together in Florence and both worked with Sashi Moorman and Rajat Parr at Domaine de la Côte in California and at other prestigious wine estates in Italy. Winemaking is hands-on and artisanal in the stone underground cellar of Maddalena's family Tuscan villa. Farming is organic and biodynamic, and I want to underline the sheer excitement I feel for these wines and this promising up-and-coming estate.

Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate

Amazing example of 100% Sangiovese from the biodynamic producer. The freshness and vibrancy of this wine is incredible. Long, lean, elegant, seductive full of spice, minerality, and red fruit. Why splurge on the Brunello when you can have this?
