RiecineLaGioia2020

Brought back to life by the pure approach to winemaking of Englishman John Dunkley and his Italian wife, Palmina, it’s Lana Frank that now stands at the helm of this family-owned winery, continuing with the same winemaking philosophy that helped this beautiful property in Chianti Classico get back to its rightful place at the summit of Italian fine wine production. La Gioia is their top wine, only the best Sangiovese grapes qualify, and with careful maturation in the best oak barrels for two years, the wine develops complex black fruit and spice character without losing an inch of its natural elegance, purity and freshness. Seriously fine.
