Istine Mixed Case

In the heart of Chianti Classico, Istine is a certified organic winery producing outstanding Sangiovese. Included in this case of six are two bottles of each:

2019 'Levigne' Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG

93 pts. Austere, this red features tar, iron, and wild herb notes swirling around a core of black cherry and blackberry fruit. Linear in profile, with bracing acidity and firm yet refined tannins. Wine Spectator

2020 Vigna Cavarchione Chianti Classico DOCG

96pts. The 2020 is positively stellar. Ample and rich, yet with plenty of Istine classicism, the Cavarchione has all the potential to be one of the wines of this very young vintage. All the elements come together effortlessly. Black cherry, plum, sage, lavender, licorice, and incense build over time, filling out the layers nicely. The complexity here is just unreal. Antonio Galloni

2020 Vigna Casanova Dell'aia Chianti Classico DOCG

94 pts. A succulent red highlighted by beautifully defined cherry, raspberry, floral, and mineral aromas, and flavors. Solidly built, suggesting this will develop further. Boasts excellent balance, with leafy underbrush and wild herb notes on the long finish. Wine Spectator
