2022 Molino di Grace - Chianti Classico (750ml)

Grown exclusively from 100% Sangiovese vineyards positioned between 280 and 400 meters above sea level, the 2022 Molino di Grace Chianti Classico delivers a balanced blend of classic Tuscan structure and modern winemaking precision. The grapes originate from rocky galestro soils on south-facing hillsides near Panzano, where careful hand harvesting takes place in late September. A twenty-day maceration with controlled temperature fermentation and regular punch-downs ensures gentle extraction, after which the wine rests for approximately one year in a mixed vessel program of stainless steel tanks, large-format Slavonian oak, French barriques, and neutral French tonneaux.

The resulting profile balances vibrant fruit with firm structure: expect notes of fresh cherry, cedar, and ripe raspberry alongside subtle hints of red licorice and oolong tea. Black pepper provides a characteristic spicy edge, while medium body and bright acidity keep the experience refreshing. The finish remains dry, anchored by a fine, dusty tannin grip that makes the wine highly versatile with food.

This Chianti Classico pairs best with rich, slow-cooked dishes and roasted proteins. Its natural acidity cuts through fat and complements tomato-based sauces, making it an ideal match for short rib ragù, herb-roasted chicken, or handmade pasta served with a simple marinara.
