This is NOT supermarket Chianti! It is Sangiovese that sings from the glass, so fragrant and silky, this is an outstand example of what the region is all about.
Riecine Chianti Classico is a beautiful, elegant and fine Chianti from old Sangiovese vines, handled gently almost like a Pinot Noir to accentuate the gorgeous bouquet of this grape. lt is packed with enticing aromatic nose with flavours of red fruits, a hint of spice and fine tannins and lovely sweet morello cherry notes. Complex and full bodied yet elegant. The perfect all around sipper!
Founded by Englishman John Dunkley, and today run by the Frank family, the estate is committed to a natural approach. Adhering strictly to the belief in Sangiovese as the only variety that should be used, these incredible wines are honest examples of that over used phrase 'a true sense of place'.

Producer
Founded by Englishman John Dunkley, and today run by the Frank family, the estate is committed to a natural approach. Following biodynamic processes, the land is gently nurtured with plants, flowers and grasses encouraged to flourish. This is all to promote vineyard diversity and the health of the land. Closely monitored pickers select only the best, ripest and cleanest bunches from the vines; everything else remains in the fields to return to the earth. With low sulphur additions, natural yeasts and long fermentation, the wines are gently coaxed into the world. Adhering strictly to the belief in Sangiovese as the only variety that should be used, these incredible wines are honest examples of that over used phrase 'a true sense of place'.
