Tenuta di Renieri – Chianti Classico 2022
Castelnuovo Berardenga, Tuscany 🇮🇹

Overview
A traditionally styled Chianti Classico, this wine highlights the Sangiovese grape in its most authentic form. From the Berardenga subzone, known for producing some of the boldest and most structured Chianti Classico wines, this bottle remains refreshingly approachable while carrying the DOCG pedigree.

Aromas & Flavors
Vibrant red cherries, ripe cranberries, and a touch of dried herbs meet subtle notes of violet and a whisper of earthy spice.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with silky tannins and a lively acidity that keeps the fruit bright and the finish fresh. Straightforward but elegant, perfect for everyday Chianti enjoyment.

Food Pairings
Margherita pizza, tomato-based pasta dishes, roasted chicken with rosemary, and Pecorino Toscano.

Verdict
A lovely, cherry-driven Chianti Classico that balances tradition with easy drinkability. Berardenga’s terroir lends just enough structure to give depth, while still offering immediate charm in the glass.
