2022 Gioventu Chianti DOCG, Tuscany, Italy
$16.99
Gioventu Chianti comes from Michael Schmeltzer, the man behind Monte Bernardi. As expected, this wine is fantastic. From younger vines (planted in 2010) of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, and Ciliegiolo. After the grapes are crushed, the wine ferments naturally in cement tanks. Aging in also in cement and lasts 12 months. There is no fining or filtering before bottling.
