Nestled in Emilia-Romagna, an emerging appellation sandwiched between Tuscany, Lombardy and Veneto, Chiara Condello is our best discovery from Italy thus far.
Producing pure and expressive Sangiovese, her wines have been eagerly sought out by many world-famous sommeliers. Much of her production has been heavily allocated to restaurants in Europe and beyond, including the three Michelin star Mirazur in France.
The wine tastes of dark fruit, herbs, hints of red and black licorice, and baking spices. There’s also a mineral note and a firm tannic grip. The oak influence is restrained — the wine was aged for one year in neutral oak, in 3,500-liter Slovenian barrels known as botti.
100% Sangiovese aged in large neutral oak. From the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy.
