LANCIOLA CHIANTI COLLI FIORENTINI 2022

Sangiovese from the Chianti Colli Fiorentini subzone sets itself apart from the broader Chianti umbrella by staying close to Florence, where clay-rich soils around Impruneta give the grape more body and earthiness than the schist-dominated center. Lanciola, run by the Guarnieri family, farms these rolling hills with a focus on traditional character. The wine opens with ripe cherry and red plum, moves into earthy mineral and warm spice on the mid-palate, and finishes with reasonably dense, fine tannins and persistent length.
