Vigne Toscane Chianti Classico 2023

Vigne Toscane Chianti Classico 2023 captures the soul of Tuscany’s rolling hills in a pure Sangiovese expression that is both authentic and inviting.

As part of one of Italy’s most historic and beloved appellations, it offers a modern snapshot of a region whose winemaking traditions stretch back centuries.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Chianti Classico shows a bright, medium ruby hue with garnet reflections at the rim, hinting at its youthful energy and traditional style. The nose is fragrant and layered, offering notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, dried herbs, violet, and a touch of Tuscan earth, with subtle hints of spice and cedar. On the palate, Vigne Toscane Chianti Classico 2023 is medium‑bodied and lively, with juicy red fruit—cherries, cranberries, and a suggestion of blood orange—supported by fresh acidity and fine, chalky tannins. Savory undertones of tobacco leaf, dried thyme, and a gentle minerality carry through to a clean, persistent finish. Enjoyable now for its brightness and purity, it has the structure to evolve gracefully over the next 5–7 years, gaining more complexity and softness with short‑ to mid‑term cellaring.

Production
The grapes for this wine are sourced from classic Chianti Classico hillsides in Tuscany, where the combination of Galestro (friable marl) and Alberese (limestone-rich) soils gives Sangiovese its characteristic tension and aromatic lift. The vineyards benefit from warm days and cooler nights, helping the grapes ripen slowly while preserving acidity and fragrance. Harvest is typically carried out by hand to ensure careful selection of healthy, ripe bunches. In the cellar, the must is fermented in temperature‑controlled tanks to highlight Sangiovese’s vivid fruit and floral tones, followed by maturation—traditionally in a mix of large casks or neutral wood—to refine tannins without overpowering the wine’s authentic territorial character.

Food & Serving
This Chianti Classico is a natural match for classic Tuscan cuisine: think bistecca alla fiorentina, grilled lamb chops, ragù alla bolognese, and roast pork with herbs. It also pairs beautifully with aged Pecorino, Parmesan, charcuterie, tomato‑based pasta dishes, and rustic pizzas. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) to showcase its aromatic complexity and refreshing acidity. A brief decant of 30–45 minutes is recommended in its youth to soften the tannins and allow the bouquet to fully open.
