Vallepicciola Chianti Classico Riserva 2022

Vallepicciola Chianti Classico Riserva 2022 is a refined expression of Sangiovese from the heart of Tuscany, offering the depth and structure expected from a classic Riserva with the freshness of a modern vintage. Crafted by Vallepicciola, a producer known for precision and quality in Chianti Classico, this wine reflects both the region’s long heritage and its ongoing evolution toward elegance and balance.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a vibrant ruby-red colour with garnet reflections, hinting at both youth and structure. The nose is expected to deliver classic Sangiovese aromas of sour cherry, red berries, dried herbs, violets, and subtle spice, with a touch of earthy complexity as it opens. On the palate, the wine should be medium- to full-bodied, with bright acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a savoury, persistent finish. The Riserva designation suggests extra concentration and ageing potential, making it enjoyable now with time in the glass, but also capable of developing greater complexity over the next several years.

Production
Produced in Tuscany’s Chianti Classico zone from Sangiovese, this wine reflects the character of a terroir defined by rolling hills, well-drained soils, and a climate that supports aromatic development and natural freshness. Vallepicciola’s approach typically emphasizes careful vineyard work and selective harvesting to preserve purity and expression of fruit. Vinification for a Riserva-style Chianti Classico generally involves fermentation with temperature control to maintain varietal character, followed by maturation in oak and/or other vessels to build structure, depth, and harmony before release.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with Tuscan and Italian dishes such as bistecca alla Fiorentina, roast lamb, wild boar ragù, mushroom risotto, and aged pecorino. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for around 30–60 minutes if drinking young, to soften the tannins and open up the aromatics.
