Riecine X Racines

Friday, November 14th – An evening dedicated to the Chianti Classico region. The Riecine estate from Gaiole in Chianti, the elegance of Sangiovese, and a Tuscan dinner featuring the truffle of San Miniato!

Hidden in the hills behind the humble town of Gaiole in Chianti, Riecine has long been a flag-bearer of the potential of Sangiovese in purezza, particularly in the hands of ten-year tenured winemaker and proud new owner of the domaine, Alessandro Campatelli. The wines are steady examples of Chianti Classico today, armed with polished fruit and rustic tannins that compete in beautiful equilibrium. The iron and mineral-rich Macigno soils of Gaiole are known for adding a salty edge to the wines from this domaine, while Alessandro’s work in the cellar aims for purity and freshness of fruit. Long a domaine on the radar of fans of 100% Sangiovese, Riecine - having recently surpassed a 50th anniversary - has solidified its place in one of Tuscany’s most pulsating regions.
