CHIANTI CLASSICO
$17.99 BTL./$107.94 - SIX PACK
Located north of Siena in the famed Chianti Classico zone of Castelnuovo Beradenga, Diana Lenzi has overseen her family’s wines for over a decade. These are some of the most underrated favorites and are all outstanding values.
2021 is one of those seamless, perfect storm vintages that one does not encounter very often. This is a legendary vintage in the making and is very classic. Marvelous for the region and for Diana's wines, vintage 2021 proves stimulating, complex and agile with wonderful Morello cherry scents along with mineral, violet and kisses of truffle and wild spice. Harmonious, ample concentration without ever going outside of its borders to become burdensome or silly. No hairs out of place, this debonair Chianti will develop nicely. Supplies are down to the end, and we are thrilled to be able to offer and pour before we move to the 2022…

A warmer vintage, 2022 offers up bold, warm, fruit-forward characteristics. Diana succeeded where many struggled with the ludicrous heat, her vintage 2022 maintains excellent vibrancy beneath all the density.
The 2022 is ripe, generous, yet traditionally made, this expresses ample marionberry, cherry, Tuscan herbs, and underlying spice. With fine respect to the flavors, it is dry and hearty with excellent vibrancy arriving in mid-palate. Finishes with warming spices, chocolate and savory earth qualities. Cook up spicy sausage and penne pasta alla vodka with tomato cream sauce, add a glass of this, and minchia, you have a Tuscan fantasy.

Diana’s Riserva is quite impressive and a great bridge between the Classico and the Gran Selezione. In fact, this wine is an over-performer with its impressive energy, depth and movement.
Outstanding, classic Castelnuovo scents of savory black and red raspberry, tobacco, leather, allspice and sage. Luxurious and well-integrated, but with sneaky spine power and complex flavors. Nice spice in the mouth as well as backbone that allows for nice development. The finish lingers and drips Chianti.
This ain't your straw fiasco Chianti from college days! Enjoy it now through 2029 with pappardelle pasta with a meat sugo, Bistecca Fiorentina or yours or any Italian Nonna’s Meatloaf recipe slathered in tomato gravy. MAGNUMS AVAILABLE - $69.99

Commencing with the 2010 vintage, the vaunted and prestigious Gran Selezione classification, which tops the name ‘Riserva’ was created and over a decade on, we are seeing many prestigious bottles. This is mainly because the designation and requirements have teeth and credibility.
Diana is enormously proud of this wine as she should be, it is Grand Cru Sangiovese! One whiff of the focused, but wonderfully pure scents of wildflowers, sage, black cherry, and savory earth will have you wanting to do a backflip or cartwheel. The suave and sultry depth and concentration carry nicely into the mouth as it offers up succulent, ripe and flavorful tones with superb focus and grip as well as finishing dark, spicy and long. If you wish to open a bottle, it will not kill you but for best results drink end 2025 – 2035.
