The 2022 Istine Chianti Classico is a juicy and high-energy expression of Sangiovese, showcasing winemaker Angela Fronti's signature ability to find freshness in a warm, dry vintage. The nose is exceptionally bright and "immediate," offering a burst of sweet red cherries, rose petals, and orange peel layered with savory hints of white pepper and balsamic herbs. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and linear, balancing its ripe fruit core with a vibrant, refreshing acidity and fine-grained, "dusty" tannins. The finish is clean and energetic, marked by a distinct mineral drive and a lingering floral lift. A remarkably transparent and food-friendly wine that prioritizes purity and "Radda-style" elegance over power.
