Istine, Chianti Classico,

The 2017 is a luminous garnet red extending out to the rim, with aromas of red and black cherry, ripe wild strawberry, orange peel, rosemary, leather, turned earth, and grill char. Medium-bodied and buoyantly fresh, it has the ideal push-pull of sweet and savory through the long and aromatic finish—ultimately it’ll skew a hair more savory and smoky than whatever similarly priced Burgundy you put up against it, but you’ll find similar energy, perfume, and uplifted charm. This Chianti Classico embodies all of the energy and translucence of Radda!

Italy

Northwestern Italy

Piedmont

Italy’s Piedmont region is really a wine “nation”unto itself, producing world-class renditions of every type of wine imaginable: red, white, sparkling, sweet...you name it! However, many wine lovers fixate on the region’s most famous appellations—Barolo and Barbaresco—and the inimitable native red that powers these wines:Nebbiolo.

Tuscany

Chianti

The area known as “Chianti” covers a major chunk of Central Tuscany, from Pisa to Florence to Siena to Arezzo—and beyond. Any wine with “Chianti” in its name is going to contain somewhere between 70% to 100% Sangiovese, and there are eight geographically specific sub-regions under the broader Chianti umbrella.
