"The 2022 Chianti Classico La Misse di Candialle is a fabulous straight Chianti Classico. The 2022 is a decidedly rich edition of La Misse, but it retains the purity that is such a signature of the best wines here. Dark red cherry, red plum, mocha, spice and rose petal build into the creamy, resonant finish. A dollop of Colorino rounds out the blend of Sangiovese, Malvasia Nera and Canaiolo. Aging took place in 80% cement and 20% cask. As appealing as this is, a year or two in bottle should help the tannins soften further."
