The Wine The Wine
Italy
Region:Tuscany - Chianti
Chianti is a household name and with good reason. These wines don't get a good rep without some good heritage, but unfortunately there are too many cheap imitations that blur the perception of what it should be. Which is exactly why you need to splash out once in a while and get the best, as a reminder of why it became famous in the first place. Riecine's Chianti Classico is bang on the money; the classic red cherry and violets jumping out of the glass, and the brightest acidity on the palate lifting those flavours even further. It's typically a wine for food (not least a good old spag bol) but it's worth drinking alone to fully engage with it.

Lana Frank
Lana Frank and family proudly maintain the wine philosophy of their predecessor, John Dunkley - an Englishman that developed the reputation locally as one of the best producers of Chianti, thanks to his absolute commitment to the Sangiovese grape and getting the truest expression out of it, year in, year out. Lana has taken Riecine to the next level since taking over in 2011, developing a state-of-the-art winery and raising their profile worldwide by consistently producing wine that is, quite simply, world class.
"Pale crimson-red colour. This has an exciting nose and bright acidity. Succulent, red fruit with fine, powerful tannins. This Sangiovese has taken on a Pinot-Noir-like guise." - Lana Frank, Winemaker.
