CASTELLO LA LECCIA 2022 CHIANTI CLASSICO

From the upper slopes of Castellina, Castello La Leccia was mentioned in written records as early as 1077! Their everday red is a prime example of the outstanding value in Chianti Classico today, and that's why it makes our list once again! It's classically minded, with its vivacious, mid-weight Sangiovese character of ripe-but-tangy red fruits (cherry, cranberry, pomegranate) and orange zest, accented by hints of light spice and stony earth. Softly grainy tannins and a tucked-in acidity give it the energy and sleek shape that make it great for casual food pairing in any season! Organically farmed.
