“One of the nicest observations you might wish to hear as a wine producer in the Chianti Classico DOCG region of Tuscany is that the contents in the bottle are described as ?very Radda’. This signifies a Chianti Classico with obvious refinement, which in this case derives in no small part from the high altitude of the prized Radda zone. This area’s cool conditions are easy to sense in this wine’s smooth, palpable crunchiness, a Chianti Classico hallmark. Picking at optimum ripeness is vital for Sangiovese to show its brisk silkiness and finesse. The grapes ferment in a newly constructed, low-energy winery built into the rock. Small amounts of Colorino and Canaiolo grapes add colour and spice to the Sangiovese. The compact clay and limestone (‘alberese’) soils here give mouth-watering wines with vibrant sour cherry fruit, really crisp and with well-shaped tannins. Very Radda. Drink now to 2030.

“A very pleasant CC here with lots of succulent, ripe berries, blackcurrants and black cherries on both the nose and palate. Super-clean fruit with light hints of dried herbs and lavender coming through. The round, very fine tannins are ripe and well meshed together with the fruit, giving a nicely balanced finish. Delicious. Enjoy now.�

“A lively style, this boasts cherry, raspberry, floral and eucalyptus flavors. The firm structure offers definition and extends the finish, where earth, leather and mineral accents are revealed. Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino. Drink now through 2028. 3,750 cases made, 500 cases imported.� – Bruce Sanderson
