Val delle Corti- Chianti Classico 2020 750ml

Val delle Corti Chianti Classico 2020 serves as a benchmark for the Radda terroir. Produced by Roberto Bianchi, this wine proves that high-altitude farming yields exceptional elegance. The estate sits at 450 meters above sea level, where marly limestone soils and cool breezes shape the vines. Despite a challenging growing season marked by a hot summer and rain during harvest, the team secured a crop of healthy, concentrated grapes through rigorous selection.

In the glass, the wine shines with a lively ruby hue. The nose offers a complex bouquet of wild blackberry, violet, and juniper. Distinct notes of blood orange and cardamom add a unique twist that sets this bottling apart. On the palate, it is vigorous and fresh. A savory, lip-smacking acidity balances the concentrated fruit, leading to a finish marked by a delicate touch of eucalyptus.

Aged for 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, this red avoids the heavy vanilla flavors often found in modern wines. Instead, it remains clear, essential, and true to the Sangiovese grape. It has earned top honors from Gambero Rosso, cementing its status as a must-have for Italian wine lovers.
