Buondonno Chianti Classico 2023

This vineyard is a bit colder and less exposed to the sun

Giovanna Maccario has been crafting world class wines from her cellar located in the village of San Biagio della Cima

From a tiny family vineyard just about 100 years old

The family had about three hectares of vines a few hours from Naples in Cerreto Sannita at about 350 meters above sea level

He also comes from a family of winemakers with his father leading the charge for natural wine in the Rhone valley

field blends of red and white grapes that result in wines that sit somewhere between a dark rose and super light red

Tasting notes: This wine is a terrific example of the José Pastor approach: go to a region where people are known for one thing and find the people doing the opposite

and stone fruit with the palate echoing the almonds and spice

15% Negrette rosé

His vineyard has been certified Biodynamic for over a decade

This one is named for his three-legged dog
