Riecine 2021 Chianti Classico
$59.99
Pale purple colour accompanies red and purple florals, red cherry, plum, raspberry, pomegranate, orange peel, herbs, liquorice and sweet spice. The palate is agile and lightly textured, with complex minerality, powdery tannins and lively acidity. Sangiovese comes from high-altitude vineyards in Gaiole. It ferments spontaneously with indigenous yeast in concrete, then matures in unlined concrete and large untoasted oak.

About Riecine
John Dunkley and Palmina Abbagnano founded Riecine in 1971 with 1.5 hectares bought from the neighbouring Badia a Coltibuono monastery. They restored the stone villa and old vines, releasing their first Chianti Classico in 1975 from the 1973 harvest. Dunkley championed Sangiovese grown in Gaiole without Cabernet in the blend.
The vineyards have been farmed organically since 2006, with permanent ground cover, mechanical weed control and leaves retained to help shade the fruit. Fermentations begin with naturally occurring yeasts, and the cellar uses unlined concrete, large neutral casks and a mix of older and new oak, according to the wine.
