Italy
Tuscany
2022

94% Sangiovese, 3% Malvasia Nera, 3% Canaiolo. Co-harvested/co-fermented in unlined concrete with macerations lasting a month.  Aged in unlined concrete vats.  This is Candialle's Chianti Classico 'annata,'  though its release date could easily classify it as a Riserva.

"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."
