Delicate and bright, the Castello dei Rampolla 2022 Chianti Classico gives us a pure and transparent interpretation of Sangiovese. The wine shows a multitude of violets, purple fruits and tart cassis flavors. This Chianti Classico is all about verticality and brightness. It appears nearly weightless at first but eventually unfolds over the palate with a carefully dosed, mid-weight texture that gives it enough structure to pair with classic Tuscan pasta dishes featuring a sauce from slow-cooked wild boar or hare. - ML

The 2022 Chianti Classico is fruity, supple and very easy to drink. Succulent dark red fruit, plum, leather, spice and a kick of blood orange are front and center. Medium in body and forward, with fine balance, the 2022 is full of charm. The warm vintage yielded an especially succulent Chianti Classico that is quite appealing. - ANtonio Galloni

This is rich and exudes cherry and raspberry fruit. Iron, leafy underbrush and spice accents add detail as this winds down alongside a light dusting of tannins. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2026 through 2035.
