From one of the leading estates in Chianti Classico, Istine’s 2022 “Vigna Cavarchione” is a powerful and deeply expressive single-vineyard Gran Selezione. Sourced from the estate's vineyard in the structured terroir of Gaiole, this 100% Sangiovese showcases remarkable depth, even in a warm vintage. The nose is rich and complex, with aromas of black cherry, plum, and dried rose, layered with savory notes of licorice, tobacco, and a distinct, iron-like minerality. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and well-structured, with a dense core of dark fruit framed by firm, yet polished tannins and a fresh, balancing acidity. The finish is exceptionally long and resonant. A stunning, age-worthy Chianti Classico with impressive power and pedigree.
