"Sangiovese proud"—Angela Fronti's philosophy drives this single-vineyard expression from six hectares of young vines (planted 2009-10) on galestro-limestone at 440 meters in Radda. Organic since 2016, the wine undergoes up to six weeks of skin contact before aging in neutral 20-hectoliter botti. No new oak, no shortcuts—just honest Sangiovese expressing its limestone minerality with lifted red cherry and dried herb notes. Structured yet elegant, built to evolve for two decades.

Antonio Galloni

95 points

"The 2022 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Cavarchione is dense and explosive in the glass. A blast of dark cherry, blackberry, graphite, dried herbs, menthol, and sage stains the palate. This heady, broad-shouldered Gran Selezione has a ton going on. Readers should expect a potent wine endowed with notable textural presence. Time in the glass releases the aromatics nicely. The long finish is so inviting." —Antonio Galloni

Kerin O'Keefe

96 points

"The stunning 2022 Gran Selezione Cavarchione boasts heady aromas of camphor, lavender, spice and forest berry. Made with organically farmed Sangiovese from Gaiole, the delicious, structured palate delivers raspberry, cherry compote dark culinary spice and menthol alongside a backbone of smooth, fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it edgy. Drink through 2037." —Kerin O'Keefe
