2022 Volpaia - Chianti Classico (750ml)

Sourced from high-altitude organic vineyards in the heart of Chianti Classico, the 2022 Volpaia delivers a fine-boned, structured expression of Sangiovese defined by terrain ranging between 1,300 and 2,130 feet above sea level. The Mascheroni family cultivates 114 acres across sandstone-rich soils surrounding their 11th-century village, farming entirely without synthetic inputs. This vintage centers on Sangiovese, supplemented by a modest portion of Merlot specifically to round out the wine’s edges and deliver approachable maturity in its opening years.

Following fermentation, the wine matures in oak barrels and moves through Volpaia’s subterranean “vinoduct,” an integrated network of stainless steel pipes that quietly transfers the liquid through the estate’s historic cellar levels before it reaches consumers. The resulting profile features layers of ripe cherry, dried strawberry, and dried orange peel interwoven with spice and crushed stone minerality. On the palate, medium to full weight meets finely grained tannins and persistent acidity, carrying bright fruit straight through the finish.

Serve this Chianti Classico alongside grilled meats, tomato-based pasta dishes, or aged pecorino to highlight its savory spice characteristics and balanced structural grip.
