Vignamaggio, Chianti Classico DOCG (Tuscany, Italy) “Terre di Prenzano” 2021 ($45)

The location of the Sangiovese vineyards used for Vignamaggio’s Prenzano sit at the estate’s highest elevation in Greve, which helps explain the vivacity of this gorgeous 2021 Chianti Classico. Bright and fresh, this Chianti Classico delivers plenty of red cherry-like fruitiness accompanied by good depth, without any heaviness. A delight to drink now, it would be a good choice for a pasta with a sausage and broccoli sauce.
