Clivo Altura Chianti Classico 2024

$2999

A young, exhilarating Chianti Classico from one of the most exciting new arrivals in Tuscany. Clivo Altura sits at 700 meters in one of the wildest, most forested corners of Chianti Classico, on schist-limestone soils that look more like the Alps than the Tuscan hills. Everything is organically farmed and hand-harvested, with fermentation in neutral oak. This is high-altitude Sangiovese in its purest, most aromatic form: crunchy red fruit, wild herbs, real freshness, and tannins that have the lift of a wine made in cooler air. If you want to know where Chianti Classico is headed, this is the kind of bottle to pay attention to.
