They were certified organic in 2008 vintage. Set in the far south of the Chianti Classico zone, San Giusto a Rentennano started out as a medieval Cistercian monastery and currently owns about 40 hectares of vineyards – a small landholding compared to some of big Tuscan names and a feature that means they produce small quantities of wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLe Baroncole is made from 97% Sangiovese and 3% Canaiolo grapes. The initial stages of its production are the same as Chianti Classico but it is then aged in barriques for between 16 to 20 months, bottled unfiltered and held for a further six months prior to release. There are dark cherries, floral notes, spice, licorice and menthol and the tannins build impressively on the finish. Le Baroncole blends power, richness and freshness with outstanding balance, gaining complexity with time in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 Chianti Classico Riserva Le Baròncole is soft, succulent and wonderfully inviting. Black cherry, plum, mocha and dark spice notes are pushed forward. Blood orange, cedar and new leather add exotic overtones on the plush finish. This is an especially open-knit vintage for Le Baròncole. As such, the 2023 will drink well pretty much on release. \u003cstrong\u003e94 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Five Way Cellars","offers":[{"title":"1500ml","offer_id":44221745856630,"sku":"22945","price":250.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/3331\/7750\/files\/20765_Image1.jpg?v=1789776103","url":"https:\/\/fivewaycellars.com.au\/products\/san-giusto-chianti-classico-riserva-le-baroncole-2023-magnum","provider":"Five Way Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
