2021 Casale Chianti x GDM
WINEMAKER: Giuseppe Giglioli, Maria Pierina Rinaldi
REGION: Tuscany, IT
VARIETY: Sangiovese
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic
We heard this described as a Tuscan soul elixir, and that feels like the right name for a cork-topped gem from the Chianti DOCG, a Sangiovese with charm. The Casale estate sits atop a hill near the village of San Gigignano, the farm having provenance dating back to 1770, if not further. That's vintage on vintage of traditional Tuscan varieties, namely Sangiovese, Cieligiolo, Trebbiano and Canaiolo.
