I Sodi Chianti Classico DOCG 2022 from Gaiole in Chianti is a bright ruby, medium‑bodied Tuscan red with that classic mix of savoury sangio bite and succulent fruit. This I Sodi Chianti Classico 2022 is mostly Sangiovese with a touch of Canaiolo, aged in large oak for over a year to polish the tannins without smothering the fruit.

The nose leads with raspberries, cherries and sour cherry, hints of violet, balsamic lift and subtle oak tones of spice and walnut. On the palate it is medium‑bodied and savoury with firm but balanced tannins, lively acidity, tart cherry and red berry fruit, dried herbs and a touch of liquorice and earth on a long, classic Chianti finish. It feels traditional, food‑friendly and nicely structured for the price.

This is a natural partner for Bistecca alla Fiorentina, grilled steaks, roast lamb, rich tomato‑based pasta, ragu, pizza and hard Tuscan cheeses like pecorino. It also works beautifully with roast chicken, game birds and rustic Mediterranean vegetable dishes where its acidity and tannin can really shine.
