Award-Winning 2022 Istine Chianti Classico Wine 91+ Rated

Discover the vibrant flavors of Istine Chianti Classico 2022, a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation from Tuscany’s renowned Chianti Classico region. Crafted by Angela from premium Sangiovese grapes sourced across Radda and Gaiole vineyards, this wine embodies the essence of Tuscan terroir with a modern twist. A subtle addition of Malvasia and Canaiolo (less than 1%) enhances its complexity while maintaining a fresh, approachable character—perfect for both casual sipping and refined dining experiences.

Bottled at 14% alcohol and certified organic, this wine undergoes meticulous vinification in concrete and stainless steel tanks before aging for 12 months in large Austrian and Slavonian oak casks. The result is a balanced profile brimming with juicy red berries, spice-infused aromas, and a crisp acidity that pairs effortlessly with hearty dishes like Tuscan ribollita or grilled meats. Jeb Dunnuck praises its “youthful vibrancy,” while Decanter highlights its “energizing freshness,” making it a standout choice for wine enthusiasts seeking depth without heaviness.

Rated 91 points by both Decanter and Wine Spectator, this Chianti Classico offers exceptional value and versatility. Its refined tannins and stony finish ensure it’s equally enjoyable now or cellar-worthy through 2028. Whether you’re pairing it with pasta al ragù or savoring it solo on a cozy evening, Istine’s organic credentials and expert craftsmanship promise a memorable taste of Italy’s timeless winemaking heritage.
