Istine, Sangiovese, Chianti Classico 2022
Angela Fronti is a rising star in Chianti. Similar to her wines, she is high energy, effusively charming and intense, but tempered by elegance and humility.
Always working naturally, Istine has been certified organic since 2016. The wines are aged the old-fashioned way, in large 20hl botti grandi of neutral oak.
If I wanted to show someone what Chianti Classico tastes like, in a perfect world, I would give them Istine’s. No foreign grapes, no French oak. Just the traditional grapes and methods, and it works. Bright medium red color; classic aromas and flavors of sour cherry, herbs and sandalwood; medium weight with a long finish.
An absolutely excellent all-around weekday wine.
