Vigna Istine Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2021

Love these wines, especially in 2021. Perfect pairing with chicken parm. Wonderful balance between fruit, earth, acid, and tannin — 2 months ago

Vigne Istine Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2018

Interesting expression of Sangiovese. High altitude vineyard in Radda. 13.5% abv. Harmonious seamless cherry fruit. Not that tart. Not showing the typical Sangiovese bite on the finish. A polished, refined Chianti Classico. Delicious if somewhat atypical. — 3 months ago

This wine is ridiculously good at sub $30. Easily one of my favorite classicos out there — 10 months ago

Toscano Rosato 2023

Don’t find myself drinking a lot of rose but this is a nice one. Wonderfully round acids, mouth filling, refreshing and delicious. Nice to try something less serious from Istine, always like their stuff. — 2 months ago

Vigna Cavarchione Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2020

Really very delicious and at $45 better than many more expensive Brunellos etc. I like Istine’s entry level Chianti as well, but had not had one of their single vineyard bottlings before this one. Great refinement, juicy dark red fruit, silky mouthfeel with balanced acid and tannins. Decanted 2 hours and had with grilled pork blade steak. Very nice and one to try over the next few years. — 5 months ago

Le vigne Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2016

Very dark rubi robe, nose of blackcurrant, tarry, tobacco, cherries and a hint of flowers. Very dense and complex mouth, vivid but civilized tannins, medium bodied and long. Classically styled, no excess, top notch juice of the kind you’re left wanting for more. — 2 years ago

Chianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese Blend 2018

This is an excellent CC. It has all you could want from an entry level wine. Beautifully balanced, with lovely dark cherry fruit, supporting tannins and the classic Sangiovese bite on the finish. — 3 months ago

Bianco Toscano 2021

Nice Tuscan white wine from a producer we like. Perhaps some skin contact based on the color and just a hint of grip. Not too mouth filling or intense and maybe slightly one note but still nice. — 5 months ago
