TASTING NOTES

La Misse di Candialle Chianti Classico DOCG 2022 is a stunning expression of Tuscany’s renowned Chianti Classico region, crafted with meticulous care by the husband and wife team, Jarkko and Josephin Peranen. This elegant wine is predominantly 100% Sangiovese, complemented by subtle notes of Malvasia Nera and Canaiolo, co-harvested and co-fermented in unlined concrete vats to preserve its vibrant purity.

Grown in the Conca d'Oro or "Golden Bowl," a prestigious area known for its ideal microclimate and soil, the vineyard employs the traditional albarello bush vine training system. The Peranens’ commitment to organic farming and minimal intervention viticulture ensures that every bottle reflects the true character of the terroir with ecological stewardship at its core.

Fermented using native yeasts and aged for eighteen months in concrete, La Misse offers a brilliant, fruit-forward profile bursting with bright red cherry, juicy berry flavors, and an attractive freshness that highlights the natural florality of the Sangiovese grape. This wine’s balanced acidity and smooth tannins make it both approachable and complex, ideal for those who appreciate refined yet expressive Italian reds.

La Misse di Candialle is a brilliant example of a Chianti Classico “annata” with the depth and structure often associated with a Riserva, showcasing the vintage 2022’s favorable growing conditions. The wine’s purity and evocative character stand as a testament to the Peranens’ dedication to slow, natural winemaking.

The 2022 Chianti Classico La Misse di Candialle is a fabulous straight Chianti Classico. The 2022 is a decidedly rich edition of La Misse, but it retains the purity that is such a signature of the best wines here. Dark red cherry, red plum, mocha, spice and rose petal build into the creamy, resonant finish. A dollop of Colorino rounds out the blend of Sangiovese, Malvasia Nera and Canaiolo. Aging took place in 80% cement and 20% cask. As appealing as this is, a year or two in bottle should help the tannins soften further.
