Candialle Azienda Agricola La Misse di Candialle Chianti Classico 2019 750ml

The 2019 Chianti Classico La Misse di Candialle is packed with red/purplish fruit, spice, rose petal and blood orange. Translucent and super-expressive, the 2019 is another winner in this range from Candialle. Here, too, the purity of the flavors is magnificent. (Antonio Galloni)

The 2022 Chianti Classico La Misse di Candialle is a fabulous straight Chianti Classico. The 2022 is a decidedly rich edition of La Misse, but it retains the purity that is such a signature of the best wines here. Dark red cherry, red plum, mocha, spice and rose petal build into the creamy, resonant finish. A dollop of Colorino rounds out the blend of Sangiovese, Malvasia Nera and Canaiolo. Aging took place in 80% cement and 20% cask. As appealing as this is, a year or two in bottle should help the tannins soften further. (Antonio Galloni)
