2022 Cala De' Poeti Chianti D.O.C.G.

Following in the footsteps of its gold-medal-winning predecessor, the 2022 vintage of this fan-favorite Chianti is set to impress. Its label also has a pretty cool backstory… Fourth-generation Piergiorgio Castellani is part wine maestro, part art lover. To marry both his passions, he had an actual painting from his family’s ancient estate reproduced as the label you see here—delicious AND beautiful to look at? Bonus! Fans of Chianti will be thrilled too, as it’s a deliciously classic take on the style: bursting with youthful, zippy, red-cherry character (all thanks to Chianti’s lead grape, Sangiovese), edged by firm tannins and that trademark “dusty” note that makes Chianti so easy to drink. At mealtime, this’ll be a winner with standard Italian fare (Bolognese over rigatoni, marinara with angel hair, meaty flatbreads), or even roast beef.
