2017 Le Cinciole Petresco (98VM)
“The 2017 Petresco is a stunning, utterly captivating wine. In a vintage that produced so many rich, opulent reds, Petresco is vertical in build and endowed with tremendous energy. Black cherry, spice, leather, tobacco, licorice and dried flowers open with a bit of coaxing. All the elements are so well balanced. The purity of the fruit is breathtaking. What a wine!”

Along with their Chianti Classico, Petresco is a flagship for Le Cinciole and has been in continuous production since the winery's founding. Hailing from a single vineyard at an optimum 470m elevation, the 100% sangiovese grows on galestro and limestone, providing a refreshing zip down the midpalate without losing any Chianti typicity.
