Le Miccine's Chianti Classico is one of those wines that reminds you exactly why Sangiovese matters. Grown at elevation in Gaiole in Chianti, it captures a level of precision and freshness that feels increasingly rare, especially at this price. There’s clarity, earned in the vineyard, where altitude and organic farming translate into vivid detail in the glass. That precision begins with the site itself. Le Miccine’s vineyards sit high in Gaiole, where cooler temperatures and constant airflow slow ripening just enough to preserve lift and definition. Galestro and Alberese soils bring a fine mineral tension that runs beneath the fruit, giving the wine structure without weight. It’s Sangiovese in a more focused, transparent form, where everything feels aligned. Behind it all is Silvia Tiezzi, who has quietly shaped Le Miccine into one of the more compelling small estates in Chianti Classico. Since taking over in 2007, she has focused on organic farming and a restrained, low-intervention approach that allows the vineyard to lead. The result is a wine that feels intentional and complete, bringing an honest expression of place, captured with precision.
