2022 Torre A Cona - Chianti Colli Fiorentini Crociferro (750ml)

The 2022 Chianti Colli Fiorentini Crociferro from historic Tuscan estate Torre A Cona delivers a precise, vibrant expression of Sangiovese cultivated seven miles southeast of Florence.

Grown across a single fourteen-hectare vineyard, the blend maintains a strict ninety percent Sangiovese and ten percent Colorino del Valdarno ratio. Following native yeast fermentation in stainless steel, the wine undergoes a deliberate split-aging process: the majority remains in temperature-controlled tanks to lock in primary fruit intensity, while a smaller fraction rests in large Slavonian oak casks to integrate structural refinement. This method prioritizes site transparency over heavy wood influence.

Tasting Notes

Pouring a brilliant ruby red, the 2022 opens with a fine, fresh aromatic profile anchored by wild strawberry, tart plum, and a subtle dried lavender edge. On the palate, it shifts into juicy territory balanced by bright, racy acidity and polished, silky tannins. The medium-length finish remains harmonious, leaving a clean, mineral-driven impression that reflects the estate's cool microclimate.
