Chianti Classico Nuovo
Chianti Classico Nuovo
The Chianti Classico Nuovo is a 100% Sangiovese from an old vineyard that matures for 12 months in a cement barrel (650 l) in the shape of an egg. Hence the twist with the name (n)uovo (uovo means egg in Italian). The Nuovo is a full, complex Chianti Classico with juicy tannins and bright acids. An absolute top wine. Combine with grilled meat, game or mature cheeses.

Reviews
The 2020 Chianti Classico Nuovo is a selection of Sangiovese from older vines on the property. Perfumed and light on his feet, the 2020 is super translucent and expressive. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, white pepper and sweet pipe tobacco all grace this idiosyncratic wine. The 2020 was vinified and aged entirely in cement. As such it is a quirky Chianti Classico with few direct peers.
