2018 Le Cinciole - Chianti Classico Riserva Petresco (750ml)

Pulled from some of Podere Le Cinciole’s oldest organic vines near Panzano, this 100% Sangiovese red combines classic Chianti Classico terroir with extended oak aging. While the fruit originates within the traditional wine zone, the wine’s structural depth and prolonged barrel regimen classify it under the broader Toscana IGT designation.

Tasting Profile

The 2018 vintage delivers precise, well-defined dark cherry fruit accompanied by a touch of oak spice, bright acidity, and a mineral, flinty edge. Firm but polished tannins carry real tension and elegance through the finish, balancing the wine’s built-in structure with approachable maturity.

Suggested Pairings

• Grilled Tuscan sausage
• Hearty bean stew
• Air-dried salumi

Managed by Valeria and Luca Orsini, Podere Le Cinciole operates primarily on Sangiovese across its organic farm just outside the village. Small percentages of international varieties appear only in a separate modern blend, keeping this bottling strictly focused on native grape expression, soil character, and restrained oak influence.
