This is the one Chianti we’ve wanted to showcase for a number of months now, ever since our supplier secretly got a sample bottle from the Italian winery late last year, but such has been the demand from restaurants locally and internationally we've had to keep the powder dry on this new Chianti. Many months have now passed and we're ready to flesh this out in all its glory.
The 2024 Astrale Chianti DOCG perfectly captures everything the wine lover adores about the Tuscan region. Displaying bright fresh, red-fruited aromas of cherry, subtle spice, cocoa and savoury nuances, it offers a beautifully smooth lighter-to-medium bodied style that is incredibly easy to enjoy.
Approachable, versatile and seriously drinkable, this is the sort of Chianti that works brilliantly year-round — whether alongside hearty winter dishes or lighter casual meals with friends. Enjoy!
''Chianti is seeing something of a revival in popularity globally and the 2024 vintage will do nothing to hurt that. Nor will wines that provide such good value as this. Ruby red in colour, this is a savoury and earthy style in a light-medium bodied frame. Well balanced with bright acidity and juicy flavours, it is of medium length and should drink well for the next four to five years.'' 91 Points, Ken Gargett, The Wine Pilot
''This one is a serious bargain. It has bright fruit characters along with some classic savoury notes/earthiness.'' Winsor Dubbin, Ciao Magazine
