Red Wine, Chianti Classico DOCC 2022, Organic (Radda, Tuscany, Italy) - Bottle

A racy and fresh Chianti Classico wine and perfect example of the stony energy of Sangiovese from Radda in Chianti.  These high-altitude vineyards are a paradise — and cultivated organically now for years — for Tuscany’s native red grape.  The bright acid and juicy balance of this perfect Chianti Classico wine makes it all but irresistible.  Yet more proof that the best Chianti Classico wines are some of the best food wines in the world!

Winemaker Diego Finocchi is a one-man winery, caring for 12 acres of  “mountain” Sangiovese amid the wooded hills and steeply graded valleys of Radda in Chianti, the heart of the Chianti Classico zone in Tuscany.  A trained enologist and native son who established his estate in 2006, Diego seeks to “make wines that are as faithful as possible” to the true character of Radda.

That essence—stony and pure, brimming with bright fruit and lively acid, tailor-made for fine cuisine—is what you’ll find in each bottle of Diego’s organically raised wines.  Inspired by Radda’s serious hills and inspiring views, Finocchi named his estate “L’Erta di Radda,” or the “steep slopes of Radda.”
