Tasting notes
Pouring a deep magenta hue, the 2022 Chianti Classico is inviting and ripe with aromas of black raspberries, cherries, crushed violets, and mossy earth. The palate is polished and pure, with ripe tannins, crunchy, refreshing acidity, and a stony texture. It’s a lovely Chianti Classico that will be fantastic for drinking now or over the next 8-10 years.

The 2022 Chianti Classico is fabulous—one of the best of the year. A burst of dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, rose petal and mint all race across the palate. Deep, layered and wonderfully sexy, the 2022 is utterly irresistible. It’s a superb effort from proprietor Marco Ricasoli Firidolfi.
Certified organic (ICEA). Mid-to-deep crimson. Deep, concentrated cherry and black forest fruit with tobacco-leaf hints. Lots of sour cherry and raspberry on the palate and with almost racy acidity that is in sharp contrast to the rich nose. Ends almost a little tart, but certainly refreshing. (WS)
