2022 Istine "Vigna Cavarchione" Chianti Classico Gran Selezione

Vinous
Review Date: 07/2025The 2022 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Cavarchione is dense and explosive in the glass. A blast of dark cherry, blackberry, graphite, dried herbs, menthol, and sage stains the palate. This heady, broad-shouldered Gran Selezione has a ton going on. Readers should expect a potent wine endowed with notable textural presence. Time in the glass releases the aromatics nicely. The long finish is so inviting. *AG)

Notes
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.
