CHIANTI CLASSICO Nuovo Poggerino 2022
The 2022 Chianti Classico Nuovo is 100% Sangiovese done entirely in cement. It offers lovely forward red-toned Sangiovese fruit along with complicating floral, savory and earthy undertones, all in a mid-weight style that is hugely appealing. The purity of the fruit is striking. Interestingly, proprietor Pietro Lanza prefers to use slightly larger bunches in this bottling, as he feels they are better suited to vinification and élevage in cement.
GIGONDAS Aux Lieux-Dits Domaine Santa Duc 2021
What can be thought of as the classic cuvée and from eight different vineyards throughout the appellation, the 2021 Gigondas Aux Lieux-Dits is 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre, 5% Cinsault, and 5% Syrah that was not destemmed and was brought up in a mix of foudre and amphora. Blackberries, raspberries, peppery herbs, and underbrush all define this medium-bodied, elegant, Burgundian Gigondas, which has fine tannins and a terrific sense of elegance. I like its overall balance, and it should have a decade of longevity.
