Tenuta Degli Dei Forcole 2022

Tenuta Degli Dei Forcole 2022 is a pure Sangiovese from the heart of Chianti Classico, crafted in Panzano to highlight the region’s hallmark freshness, elegance, and sense of place. Made by the Cavalli family, it balances tradition and modern precision in a style that feels both authentic and polished.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-red color with inviting complexity. The nose opens with red and dark berries such as cherry, blackberry, and morello cherry, layered with soft floral notes, gentle spice, and subtle hints of vanilla and chocolate from the oak. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with elegant tannins, bright acidity, and a harmonious core of ripe fruit, mineral nuance, and discreet toasted wood. The finish is long and refined, with enough structure to develop well over the next few years while remaining immediately appealing now.

Production
Forcole comes from high-altitude vineyards in Panzano, where the classic Chianti Classico terroir of limestone- and marl-rich soils, southern exposure, and elevated sites gives Sangiovese its signature tension and clarity. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, then fermented naturally with temperature-controlled malolactic fermentation. The wine matures for around 10 months in second- and third-use tonneaux, followed by about 4 months in unglazed cement tanks, a combination that preserves freshness while adding complexity and balance.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for grilled meats, game dishes, roast lamb, and mature cheeses, and it also works beautifully with rich Italian classics like bistecca alla Fiorentina or ragù-based pasta. Serve at 16–18°C, and decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended if you want to open up the aromatics and soften the tannins.

Producer
Tenuta degli Dei is a family-run estate associated with the Cavalli family, combining a deep respect for Tuscan tradition with a contemporary approach to winemaking. Based in one of Chianti Classico’s most celebrated areas, the producer has earned recognition for wines that express purity, elegance, and a strong connection to terroir, with Forcole standing as one of its most authentic Sangiovese bottlings.
