Hidden Tuscany Rating
Organic Chianti Classico DOCG from Dievole, 2020 vintage, awarded 90 points by three guides and offered at €13.29 instead of €17.74. The limitation lies in the lack of details on the terroir and aging potential.
Chianti Classico DOCG appellation and zone named, Sangiovese with other authorized grapes: clear Tuscan anchoring, without precise terroir details.
Three guides named at 90 points (James Suckling, Robert Parker, Wine Spectator): real distinctions but not of a very high level.
At €13.29 instead of €17.74, a Chianti Classico DOCG awarded 90 points sits clearly below the usual price for its rank.
Precise pairings (red meats, game, aged cheeses), aromatic profile described and serving at 16-18°C, but no mention of aging potential.
Dievole named, organic mentioned, fermentation in steel with maceration and aging of at least 12 months: documented practices.

Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of the Chianti hills, where the sun caresses the vines and tradition blends with ecological awareness. This is precisely the spirit I found when tasting Dievole's Chianti Classico DOCG BIO, a wine that whispers the history of its land with elegance and respect.
This wine is an ambassador of Dievole's philosophy, an estate that, for centuries, has cultivated the vine with particular attention to nature. Coming from the gentle hills of Chianti, this Chianti Classico is the fruit of a rigorous selection of Sangiovese grapes, grown without synthetic chemicals, using organic methods. This is an approach I applaud, as it guarantees not only the purity of the wine, but also the longevity of this landscape I love so much.
The 2020 vintage presents itself with an intense ruby red color, tending toward garnet reflections as it ages. On the nose, you will discover a complex and rich bouquet. Notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, blend delicately with nuances of violet and sweet spices, a legacy of its aging in wood. On the palate, the balance is perfect between acidity and well-structured tannins. The taste is persistent, evoking forest fruits, with a light touch of tobacco and cocoa, coming from its maturation in oak barrels. This wine undergoes fermentation in steel with maceration on the skins and aging for at least 12 months.
To accompany this Chianti Classico, I suggest you turn to the classics of Tuscan cuisine. A bistecca alla fiorentina, a wild boar stew, or even aged cheeses will be ideal partners. I recommend decanting it at least an hour before serving so that it reveals all its aromatic facets. This is a wine that invites conviviality, those moments when we share a good meal and stories. It embodies a celebration of tradition and an example of environmental responsibility, connecting you to the Tuscan land, from the first to the last glass.
