Castello della Paneretta Chianti Classico 2021 (750ml)

Castello della Paneretta's 2021 Chianti Classico is a Sangiovese-based red from the heart of Tuscany's classic zone. This vintage shows the house's recognizable signature: a wine built on aromatic intensity and savory restraint rather than fruit weight alone.

The palate opens with an unexpected floral quality, layered through with dried herbs, mint, sage, and lavender that weave around a core of red Sangiovese fruit. There's a mineral, almost herbal spine running through the wine, with a touch of new oak adding structure and texture to the finish. It's a distinctive take on Chianti Classico, one that leans toward complexity and aromatics over immediate ripeness. The wine is ready to drink now, though it will evolve gracefully with a few years in the cellar.
