2022 Molino di Grace - Chianti Classico Riserva (750ml)

Crafted from 100 percent Sangiovese harvested on sun-drenched, south-facing slopes at 280 to 400 meters elevation, the 2022 Molino di Grace Chianti Classico Riserva translates Panzano’s signature galestro limestone into a structured, food-driven Tuscan red.

Organic vineyard management yields concentrated fruit picked by hand from late September through October. The winery ferments the mash for roughly twenty days with temperature control and gentle punch-downs, then rests the young wine for twelve months across stainless steel, Slavonian oak casks, French barriques, and second-use tonneaux. This blended vessel strategy builds aromatic complexity and polished tannins while preserving the vintage’s natural acidity and stony minerality.

Tasting Notes
Bright ruby hue with a deep crimson core. The aroma offers dark cherry, stewed plum, cocoa nibs, and subtle leather, lifting into dried basil, black pepper, and Mediterranean incense. On the palate, tightly knit tannins support a rich, medium-full body marked by a distinctive saline-savory edge. The finish carries violet and dried stone fruit, lingering with a clean, grippy resolution that invites another pour. Suggested Pairings
This Riserra bridges lighter proteins and robust preparations effortlessly. Grill herb-crusted lamb cutlets, roast whole capon dressed with lemon and sage, or serve a traditional wild boar ragù over fresh pappardelle. Twenty-four-month aged Pecorino Toscano or firm cow-milk cheeses amplify the wine’s herbal backbone, making it equally effective on weekend charcuterie boards or alongside dark chocolate desserts.
