ORGANICALLY FARMED
WINE ADVOCATE 95 POINTS - "Here's a beautiful bottle from San Giusto a Rentennano that outperforms dozens of wines from the appellation that are priced two or three times higher than this. The organic 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva Le BarĂ²ncole is incredibly focused and tight with black fruit and sweet plum. The wine is Sangiovese with a tiny addition of Canaiolo for extra fruitiness and texture. That sense of focus continues to the palate, where fine tannins support generous fruit weight."
This reserve wine, composed of 97% Sangiovese and 3% Canaiolo, is partly aged in smaller French oak barrels for 20 months, which helps in polishing up such a dense style of Chianti. The 2016 vintage was exceptional for a balance of ripe aromas and crisp, dense structure, which certainly made San Giusto's job easier! While this is a wine that will improve over the next 4-8 years, you can decant for an hour or so, and pair with grilled meats or heartier vegetable dishes.
