The 2022 Chianti Classico is a fine entry-level offering from San Felice. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, spice, new leather and a kick of orange peel all grace this soft, open-knit red. Drink it over the next few years.

The fruit is a touch darker in this red, which offers black cherry and blackberry flavors, with accents of violet, earth and iron. Firm tannins infuse the finish, where echoes of the fruit persist. Sangiovese, Colorino and Pugnitello. Drink now through 2027. 28,000 cases made, 9,000 cases imported.
