Istine Chianti Classico 2021 750ml

92 POINTS: VINOUS - Just bottled, the 2021 Chianti Classico captures all the energy of the year in its bright, red-toned fruit. Blood orange, mint, white pepper and vibrant acids lend notable energy to a Chianti Classico that sizzles with tension. There's plenty of fruit to back that all up. Bright saline notes extend the finish beautifully. Angela Fronti’s 2021s are impressive, their recent bottling notwithstanding. Istine is a relatively new estate, but the family has a distinguished history in Chianti Classico. The wines are made in a small warehouse space in Radda. Readers should seek out these wines, as they capture all of the energy and enthusiasm of the younger generation in Chianti Classico.
