Istine Vigna Casanova dell’Aia Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2022

Tuscany, ItalyVigna Casanova dell'Aia is a selection of the best sangiovese bunches from the single vineyard Casanova dell'Aia, grown on marl and limestone at high elevation in Radda. The lively red currant and blood orange results from gentle maceration and élevage in large format neutral oak to protect and reveal its structure and aromatic lift. This intellectual skinny sangiovese announces Radda with hints of alpine herbs, red fruits, an earthy underbelly, and peppery notes. Cool, stylish, and mineral rich, it is a gastronomic wine to contemplate with dinner.Tasted: 26 April 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
