Why shop with us?
Riecine La Gioia 2021 is a vibrant 100% Sangiovese from the heart of Chianti Classico, crafted to celebrate the joy and character of Tuscany. Made by the historic Riecine estate in Gaiole in Chianti, it brings together purity, elegance, and a distinctly local sense of place.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a ruby-red color with garnet reflections. The nose opens with an intense mix of strawberry and cherry, followed by delicate notes of rose petals, berries, vetiver, and a cool mineral lift.
On the palate, it is warm and well balanced, with juicy tannins and a refreshing, lively backbone that keeps the wine poised and energetic. The finish is long and expressive, suggesting good development potential over the coming years.
Production
Produced in Toscana IGT from 100% Sangiovese, La Gioia comes from a historic winery rooted in the Chianti Classico area. While detailed vineyard and vinification information is not provided, the wine clearly reflects the limestone-and-clay-driven freshness and aromatic precision associated with Gaiole in Chianti and traditional Sangiovese winemaking.
Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for Tuscan dishes such as pappardelle with ragù, grilled steak, roast pork, and aged pecorino. Serve at 16–18°C, and decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended to allow the aromatics and tannins to खुलly open up.
