Tasting Notes

95 points, Decanter - 17.5/20, Jancis Robinson

100% Sangiovese, this rather seductive, layered Tuscan gem is pure elegance. It's in highest tier of Chianti quality. Absolutely beautiful. It feels a bit like Soldera. With 14 months in French barriques, and the time and dedication this fine wine has received only lends to its opulence and refinement. Sensational and such tiny amounts produced.

More Info

Located in the highest part of the Cigliano area, Cigliano di Sopra is a historic estate dating back to 1300, now in the capable hands of dynmaic friends Matteo Vaccari and Maddalena Fucile. Prior to taking the reins at Cigliano di Sopra, Matteo and Maddalena worked alongside Sashi Moorman and Rajat Parr at Evening Land, Sandhi, and Domaine de la Côte. Even Monica Larner of the Wine Advocate likes Cigliano – “The most exciting discovery I recently made in Chianti Classico is Cigliano di Sopra, located in San Casciano Val di Pesa. The winery is run by two young friends, Maddalena Fucile and Matteo Vaccari.

FROM THE PRESS

“The first vintage of this 2,000-bottle single-vineyard Riserva and it stuns with its texture and precision...Despite its immediate appeal, this has the structure to age really gracefully.”
95pts, Decanter
“Bright crimson. So pure on the nose! Really this is essence of Sangiovese (plus 3% Canaiolo apparently). So round and pleasing yet vibrant and with crisp tannins underneath. Quite a life ahead of it but it is approachable already and is impressively long. 17.5”
17.5/20, Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com
