Orsumella Chianti Classico DOCG 2022 from Tenuta Orsumella in Montefiridolfi, San Casciano in Val di Pesa, Florence, Tuscany is a fragrant, savoury Sangiovese that captures classic Chianti Classico character with real drinkability. This certified‑organic Chianti Classico is built almost entirely from Sangiovese and shows juicy red cherry, cranberry and red plum alongside rose, violet and a lift of rosemary and Tuscan herbs.

On the palate it is dry, medium‑bodied and tangy, with bright red fruits, a hint of darker berries and orange peel, all carried by fresh acidity and fine, lightly grippy tannins. It is text‑book Chianti Classico – supple and savoury rather than oaky or sweet – and has the structure to improve over the next several years while already very enjoyable with a short splash in the decanter.

Orsumella Chianti Classico DOCG 2022 is spot‑on with bistecca, lamb cutlets, Tuscan sausages and ragu‑laden pasta, but it also shines with simple roast chicken with rosemary and garlic. It is a brilliant partner for aged pecorino, hard cow’s milk cheeses and a spread of cured meats, making it a versatile, authentic Tuscan red for your Chianti Classico section.
