  1. Fontaleoni Rosato Condorino IGT Toscana 2020
    Fontaleoni Rosato Condorino IGT Toscana 2020

    Fontaleoni is a family estate run by brother and sister team, Matteo and Simona Troiani, with a little help from consultant Paolo Caciorgna. They've succeeded in producing a range that is emblematic of the best of what the region has to offer with particular emphasis on Vernaccia.

    Like all their wines they get the primo treatment in the winery. A blend of 70% Sangiovese and 30% Merlot this presents with a top note of rose-petal, plum, and wild cranberry. Its bright and crunchy mouthfeel gives way to soft red fruits and that sangiovese sour cherry we all know and love. I don't know why we don't see more sangiovese base rose as they seem to get that balance of savoury and sweet so well, especially when they are pink.

  2. Monteguelfo Chianti DOCG 2022
    Monteguelfo Chianti DOCG 2022

    This is one of those "how do they do it for the money and how is it so god?" kind of wines. Chianti from the estates of Andrea Cecchi made from 90% Sangiovese and 10% Colorino, the wine does not see any oak and has a tradiotional leaning and plenty of character, particularly for a wine at this price. The Cecchi family has 125 years of winemaking history and have some excellent vineyards at their disposal.

    This years rendition looks to have a little more fat and plushness on it then last while remaining wonderfully vibrant & fresh expression of Sangiovese. Often wines at this level are a little thin and hard (especially being sangiovese) or overripe but this skirts a beautiful middle ground retaining pillowy fruits but plenty of zing. Some more deep-set dark mixed-berry fruits with just a hint of leather and savoury dried herbs that linger in the background providing some interest and extra diemnsion.

  3. Fiore Nero Chianti 2022
    Fiore Nero Chianti 2022
    Spiced cherries, dried thyme, rose petals and licorice lead into a swelling belly of berries and twigs. Its lovely and even keeled in its delivery, a spine of tannins ribs around the core of crunchy dark berries. The bright fruit notes are tempered by a savoury edge while a powdery tail of tannins signs off the wine. This is jaw-dropping value for a Chianti. No need to age this, relish in its youthful immediacy. GABRIELLE POY

    Greenstone Heathcote Gusto Rose 2021

    These days, it’s getting quite hard for me to read white font on peach coloured background. I don’t wear glasses mind you, so that may be the problem.

    Tangy, dry sort of style, into tangerine, grapefruit, white cherry and maybe some aniseed floating about. A little spice too. It has crunch, and a gently savoury finish of solid length. Goes all right. GARY WALSH, The Wine Front

  5. Fontaleoni Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG 2023
    Fontaleoni Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG 2023

    Fontaleoni is a family estate run by brother and sister team, Matteo and Simona Troiani, with a little help from consultant Paolo Caciorgna. They've succeeded in producing a range that is emblematic of the best of what the region has to offer and packaged it up with some of the besta value coming out of the region.

    Unbelievable value again this year. A bit of white pepper and sour cherry fruit that opens into a slight darker fruit profile in the glass. Same goes on the palate with a little more dark plumb and morello cherry here than in other years. Plushly fruited but all held together with nice savoury tannins and a splash of leathery spice.

  6. Toscolo Chianti Classico DOCG 2022
    Toscolo Chianti Classico DOCG 2022

    STAGE 1 - HILLY - FLORENCE > RIMINI 206 KM

    The Toscolo label pays homage to all things Tuscan.  Even the name  -  which means Tuscan boy in the local dialect.Toscolo Chianti is a lively and bright, refreshing red made from selected Sangiovese grapes.  A short maceration is followed by six months ageing in large oak barrels; the aim being to preserve fruit character.

    It has classic aromas of violets and red berries with that touch of fresh leather and pepper notes. Soft, rounded and well balanced with red cherry and crunchy red fruits that trail off too a branbly and earthy finish.. 

    After riding though all those vineyards and Tuscan countryside we'll be hanging for a bifsteca Fiorentina and a glass of Chianti.

    Pizzini Nonna Gisella Sangiovese 2023

    There are horses for courses and wines for times, and this slippery, supple and savoury sangiovese from Victoria's King Valley is as important for mid-week pizza as the extra anchovies. Dried cherries, rubbed herbs and a faintly briny green olive tang ride on a wash of the distinctive aidity , divinly ordaining it to exorcise the devil that is melted cheese. NICK RYAN, theaustralian.com

    A frisky, firm and dusty red with enough DNA of the variety to get you dark cherry, cola, dried herbs, aniseed and fit out a good drinking experience. Nice little extra slurpiness mid palate for upping the drinkiability. Lots of charm. Great for the bucks. MIKE BENNIE, winefront.com.au

  8. Vinea Marson Rosato 2021
    Vinea Marson Rosato 2021
    Possessing a nose of enticing strawberries and cream, savouriness comes into play on the palate thanks to a portion of saignéed fruit and fermentation in old French oak barriques & puncheons, with sour cherry wood and pleasing phenolics accompanying tart strawberries and yellow nectarine character. A nuanced finish with balanced acid and tannin, this easy-drinking Rosato epitomises European savouriness alongside sangiovese's cherry-dominated generosity. VINEA MARSON

  9. Le Cinciole Rosato 2022
    Le Cinciole Rosato 2022
    Organic/biodynamic. Sangiovese grapes are specially harvested at the right degree of ripeness in order to obtain finesse and balance without excessive alcohol content. The de-stemmed grapes stay briefly in the press for a slight maceration. The must is then vinified “in white” at a controlled temperature. The richness of floral perfumes, delicate fruity hints as well as evident mineral notes, characterize the gustative freshness of our Rosato which, like all the other wines coming from our vineyards, shows elegance and persistence.

    Querciabella Chianti Classico 2020 375ml
    The 2020 Chianti Classico is bright, fresh and nicely lifted, with terrific precision and energy lending quite a bit of character. Bright red Sangiovese fruit, spice and a touch of blood orange are front and center. Even so, the 2020 appears to still be recovering from its bottling. That should not be an issue in another 6-12 months' time. This is the first vintage that includes fruit from parcel in Greve's Lamole district. ANTONIO GALLONI, Vinous

    Querciabella Mongrana 2021
    The 2021 Mongrana is terrific. Bright and punchy, with gorgeous fruit purity, the 2021 is a delicious wine for drinking over the near and medium term. Aging in cement and steel keeps the flavors vibrant. This is a fine edition of the Mongrana. ANTONIO GALLONI

    This is ripe with dark cherries, mulberries and jam. Some hibiscus and red spices, too. Medium- to full-bodied with tight but finely polished tannins and a succulent, mellow dark-fruited character. Racy finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. JAMES SUCKLING

    Bursting with plush, tart cherry, ripe mulberries and lovely floral lift with just a sprinkling of spice. It's supple and slurpable with perfectly pitched acid keeping everything spirited and energetic. Even amidst all this joyous fruit and energy its Tuscan imprint is unmistakeable. PWS

  12. Domaine Alzipratu Cuvee Fiumeseccu Rouge 2021
    Domaine Alzipratu Cuvee Fiumeseccu Rouge 2021
    The grapes are grown in 4 different parcels and the vines are aged between 10 and 30 years. Blend: 45% Niellucciu, 30% Sciacarellu, 15% Elegante (Grenache) and 10% Syrah.
    Winemaking: The grapes are fully de-stemmed and wild fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks with 8 to 12 days of maceration. The wine is bottled young and fresh.
    Tasting note: The Fiumeseccu Rouge is pale cherry in colour. Very distinctive in style, dominated by fruity (pomegrante) aromas which evolve towards notes of pepper and spice on the finish. It is light yet with some good fruit flesh over racy acidity and fine, delicate tannins. DOMAINE ALZIPRATU

    Panzanello Chianti Classico 2021
    The 2021 Chianti Classico is a bold, juicy wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Succulent dark-fleshed fruit, mocha, spice and new leather all meld together effortlessly. This is a big step up from some previous editions. Floral overtones lift the finish. ANTONIO GALLONI

    Fresh cherries, strawberries, herbs, sandalwood and orange peel on the nose. It’s creamy and well-balanced, with medium-firm tannins and a tasty finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. JAMES SUCKLING

    Vinea Marson Sangiovese 2019

    A plethora of cherries – maraschino, black and red asserting themselves on the nose. Accompanied by an enticing tarriness, Italian amaro character, spicy oak and dark cocoa powder, this complex nose exhibits variety typicity. The palate is bright and more fruit driven than the nose – with pretty & generous flavours of cherry and redcurrent grading to dried herbs, chocolate and cherry oak followed by a lick of sweet vanilla. Firm but well integrated tannins coated by the juicy mouthfeel, a long finish is replete with an alluring orange bitterness. VINEA MARSON

  15. Fontalpino Chianti Colli Senesi 2020
    Fontalpino Chianti Colli Senesi 2020
    100% Sangiovese coming from the Colli Senesi subzone that hugs the southern section of Chianti Classico, as opposed to the two other Colli Senesi subzones: one to the north of Montalcino, and the other to the north of Montepulciano. Both Gioia and Filippo feel this northern section of the Colli Senesi DOCG far outshines the two southern sections as far as depth and intensity of flavour and structure are concerned. This wine is medium to dark in colour, with a fresh bouquet of spicy plums and violets. No oak translates to a wine of pure fruit character, and this Chianti has plenty of bright acid crunch, with vivid but earthy fruits and generous savoury southern tannins (maceration over 24 days) with a shape that reflects the cool but slightly warmer in summer (and consequently richer) 2020 vintage.

    Selvapiana Chianti Rufina DOCG 2022
    STAGE 1 - HILLY - FLORENCE > RIMINI 206 KM

    We love the wines of this historic estate and just north of Sienna its the pefect place to stop and enjoy the ride. For those used to Chianti Classico this is a more sleek and lithe version but in the right hands like Selvapiana is so charming. A must try.

    95% Sangiovese with the balance Colorino and Canaiolo. The grapes are hand harvested, then transferred to stainless steel for a twenty day maceration and natural fermentation before being aged in large oak casks of 25 HL for 10 months before being bottled.

    Crushed rock and red sour cherry tinged byt citrus peel and and a bit of cracked pepper too. The fruit profile follows on the palated with finely etched tannins running the long length. This is lovely. absolutely lovely. Reminds us of the great Chianti's of yesteryear in all the best ways.

    Koerner Nielluccio 2021

    The darkness of the label with black font makes this one for shining a bright light on, but perhaps you just recognise via the Pantone colourways anyways. Sangio from Clare.

    Really enjoyable, fresher expression of sangiovese here. Crisp edges, mouth-watering acidity, lots of rose hip tea and cranberry tang, a good sprinkle of white pepper and mixed, warm brown spice and a little mintiness to boot. Rolls long, tannins feel fine and tighten the wine nicely, there’s lots of detail and character with each sip. A kind of silkiness too but for that cranberry tang of acid. Super drink. MIKE BENNIE, www.winefront.com

    Le Cinciole Chianti Classico 2021

    The 2021 Chianti Classico is a fabulous introduction to this range from Le Cinciole. Brisk acids and veins of tannin give the 2021 its shape and plenty of overall energy. Expressive floral and savory overtones lend tons of character. The 2021 was vinified in cement and aged in cask for a year, followed by a year in cement. This mid-weight Chianti Classico is a winner. ANTONIO GALLONI, Vinous

    A juicy, vivid and crunchy Chianti Classico expressing aromas of strawberries, raspberries and mild spices, following through to a medium body with fine tannins. Succulent and crisp with sour cherry character in the mouthwatering finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. JAMES SUCKLING

    A potent nose of maraschino cherries, black plums and ferrous aromas lures you in. The palate is awash with dark cherries tempered by earthy tones. A curtain of tannins slowly tapers off, bringing balance to this soulful Chianti Classico. It's a delicious medium-bodied style which is drinking beautifully in its youth, but has the bones to age exceptionally well. GABRIELLE POY

    Le Cinciole Chianti Classico 2020
    I love Chianti Classico and in any given year drink more wines from here than anywhere else in the world. There is a big range of styles on offer out there but for me Le Cinciole's 2020 Chianti is right in my zone! This is a wine of stunning understated beauty that captures the heart and soul of the Conca d'Oro transported through Italy's greatest varietal, Sangiovese. From the beguiling floral aromatics to the pure, red fruited core swaddled in blanket of fine, supple tannins this is wine of pure class. Nothing here is too obvious or showy, nor too austere and buttoned down. It's effortless and complete and just a fantastic glass of wine. ALEX DOBSON, PWS SYDNEY

    The 2020 Chianti Classico is gorgeous. Wonderfully pure and bright, the 2020 conveys the essence of Sangiovese in its vibrant red-toned fruit. Sweet floral and spice notes appear in the glass, extending the mid-palate and finish effortlessly. All the elements are so nicely balanced. The 2020 is all class. Give it a year or two to soften. The 2020 spent a year in cask followed by a year in cement. ANTONIO GALLONI, Vinous

    The 2021 Chianti Classico Berardenga is boisterous and expressive right out of the glass. Dark fruit, earthiness, leather, spice and tobacco convey tons of Castelnuovo Berardenga character. The 2021 keeps getting better in the glass. It's a super-classic example of the house style and a wine readers should consider buying by the case. The Berardenga bottling can be a bit wild, but in 2021 has an added touch of sophistication that is undeniable. ANTONIO GALLONI

    STAFF PICKS 2024 -  LACHLAN CUFFE

    For a couple of years now we've been hearing from the team at Querciabella about how good the 2021 vintage was. Well the wine finally arrived a bit earlier this year and we are not disappointed. Incredibly fresh and vibrant with classic red cherry and rose petal notes. The fruit is beautifully ripe without being over the top and the wine is simply a joy. As good as any Chianti Classico I've tried this year. LACHLAN

    The 2021 Chianti Classico is fabulous. Bright and punchy, with terrific resonance, this wine shows just how compelling the vintage is. Readers will find a Chianti Classico of dynamic energy and volume. Dark red cherry, purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal, spice and a gentle kiss of French oak build into the sumptuous, vibrant finish. Superb. The 2021 was aged in 500-liter barrels (5-6% new) for 14 months and is a blend of fruit from Greve, Gaiole and Radda. ANTONIO  GALLONI, Vinous 

    This has a fresh character with ripe cherries and raspberries as well as dried flowers, bark and stones. Polished and textural with a medium body and vivid acidity. Focused and fresh with chalky tannin structure and a linear finish with notes of citrus and minerals. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. JAMES SUCKLING 

    A saturated purple/magenta hue, the 2021 Chianti Classico is lush and fresh with aromas of black raspberry, black cherry, violet, and fresh leather. Plush and inviting, with bright acidity along the sides of the palate shining through, it offers a velvety texture with a long finish. It’s polished but not oaky and has a very refined feel, with medium to full body and a long and balanced finish. Drink 2026-2040. JEB DUNNUCK

    This red is precise, offering cherry, raspberry, rose, iron and tobacco flavors fused to a steely, dense and vibrant structure. Balanced and intense, building to a long aftertaste infused with fruit and mineral notes. Best from 2026 through 2045. BRUCE SANDERSON, Wine Spectator

    Isole E Olena Chianti Classico 2021

    The Isole e Olena 2021 Chianti Classico is a softly textured and charming wine that is impeccably buttoned up and balanced. It offers terrific value at this price point. This wine is packed with bright fruit, wild cherry and blue flower. It ends with a blast of refreshing acidity that is consistent with Sangiovese. MONICA LARNER, Wine Advocate

    Bit by bit, it reveals characteristic nuances of brushwood, currants, rosehip, strawberry and pepper. Succulent and light on feet, the palate is judiciously concentrated with pure and persistent red berries. Taut, integrated tannins provide definition, and it trails off with garden-fresh herbs. This should give plenty of pleasure over the next eight to 10 years. DECANTER

    Super-spicy Chianti fully focused on licorice root, restrained black cherries, fresh violets and meaty notes. It seems to be a serious effort, with graphite flavors allied to firm, chalky and chewy tannins, crisp acidity and a super-polished finish. JAMES SUCKLING

    The 2021 Chianti Classico is deceptive in its light color and medium-bodied structure. It possesses notable textural depth and supporting structure. This is such a pretty and expressive wine. Dried herbs, mint, spice and crushed red berry fruit are nicely drawn. Bright acids and floral overtones pull it all together. ANTONIO GALLONI

    Sourced from two family-owned vineyards, one northeast of Monalcino, producing quite fragrant and silky wines and one in the hotter southwest area near Sant'Angelo (colle) giving power and structure.

    It's ripe, overflowing with character, a tasty bold number. Blackberry jelly, dark cherry soaked in rum, mint and cocoa/brown spices. Acid lifts and grippy tannins for the finish. 

    A fuller style Rosso, and I'm all here for it, paired with summer BBQ's and festive late night dinners. NICK

    The 2021 Chianti Classico is a deep, savory wine that is still coming together after its bottling. Crushed flowers, herbs, mint, spice and white pepper lend notable aromatic complexity throughout. I would not plan on opening a bottle for at least another year or two. The 2021 has tons of fruit and overall depth, but the elements have not fully come together. It’s a wine of real character and personality that captures all the pedigree of this great vintage. Time in the glass brings out all sorts of mineral and savory complexity. Readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off. ANTONIO GALLONI Vinous.com
