Notes
The 2022 Castello La Leccia Chianti Classico (DOCG) represents a spectacular stylistic jump into the heart of Tuscany, delivering a masterclass in how organic viticulture and high-altitude Castellina in Chianti terroirs can yield an intensely chiseled, high-toned Sangiovese. Sourced entirely from estate vineyards perched between 300 and 500 meters above sea level, this 100% Sangiovese thrives on a complex, rock-strewn matrix of Alberese (compact limestone) and Galestro (schistose clay). In the warm 2022 vintage, these elevated, wind-swept hills preserved a brilliant, chiseled acid profile that balances the grape's natural warmth.
