Tregole, Chianti Classico 2022

91 points Decanter
"In 2015, at the age of 25, Sophie Conte took over her family’s five-hectare estate in Castellina’s upper hills. She crafts two single-vineyard bottlings and this annata, which is a blend of young vine plots. It undergoes whole-berry fermentation and refines in concrete vats. Fresh mint, sage and raspberry ring out of the glass. There is an immediacy of clean, pure fruit on the palate, reminiscent of very crunchy cherry skins. Racy, refreshing acidity rips through the core and the tannins provide a slightly gravelly texture. This has plenty of substance and structure for the next five to six years."

"Bottled 28 January 2024. Certified organic (ICEA).
Deep, lustrous ruby. Deep, open and inviting cherry nose with a hint of exotic spice and a suggestion of eucalyptus. Juicy, sappy cherry, with crunchy tannins. Fills out the palate. Fantastic balance and freshness. 17.5/20 points. (WS)"
