Le Cinciole Chianti Classico 2022
Tuscany, ItalyPodere Le Cinciole is a small, highly regarded Tuscan Chianti Classico wine estate in Panzano, founded in the early 1990s by Luca and Valeria Orsini. They were in Vancouver earlier this year to present their wines to select retailers and restaurants. The 2022 is one to look for because it was a difficult year across Tuscany, and Le Cinciole decided not to make any of their top crus; whatever grapes were left ended up in the Chianti Classico, boosting its intensity and length. The style is traditionally elegant, so a hint of power has made an immediate impression on the Classico. Look for fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins that frame a core of earthy red and dark cherry fruit, finishing with a savoury Tuscan edge and a dusting of minerality. Stylish and ageable, polished and approachable, this food-friendly red over-delivers in what is becoming a pricey category.Tasted: 18 May 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $45.00 | 750ml | select private retailers |
