Agricola San Felice San Felice Chianti Classico 2022 750ml

A cool earthiness defines the nose, with aromas of flint, wild herbs and tart blackberries, and then umami notes of mushroom and balsamic. The palate brings cherries and more berries, but dusty, chewy tannins and notable acid emphasize that flinty earthiness, which continues to anchor the wine.

The 2022 Chianti Classico is a fine entry-level offering from San Felice. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, spice, new leather and a kick of orange peel all grace this soft, open-knit red. Drink it over the next few years. (Antonio Galloni)

The fruit is a touch darker in this red, which offers black cherry and blackberry flavors, with accents of violet, earth and iron. Firm tannins infuse the finish, where echoes of the fruit persist. Sangiovese, Colorino and Pugnitello. Drink now through 2027. 28,000 cases made, 9,000 cases imported.
