Description

Owned by Josephin Cramer and Jarkko Peränen, Candialle’s vineyards are nestled below the historic village of Panzano in Chianti in the famous Conca d’Oro, the valley of the ‘Golden Bowl’, long considered Tuscany’s ‘grand cru’. The vines here benefit from the valley’s micro climate and natural wide open spaces. The soil composition, high in Galestro – a marl-like soil – with a small amount of Albarese limestone, is a combination of Tuscany’s finest. Josephin and Jarkko take a holistic approach to their ‘agroecosystem’, employing environmentally friendly cultivation methods to strictly control yields, essential factors in ensuring the uniqueness of Candialle wines.

There are less than 12 hectares under vine and they make two Chianti Classicos. La Misse, the Little Miss of Candialle, is the second selection wine of the estate. Aged mostly in concrete, it retains Sangiovese’s typical juicy cherry fruit and refreshing acidity.

Sangiovese 94%, Malvasia Nera 3%, Canaiolo 3%.  The vines grow predominantly on galestro soil, a marl-like soil high in limestone, at altitudes ranging from 300-400 metres. The vines are trained to the albarello bush vine system, which allows for very high-density plantings and naturally low yields per vine.  The fruit is hand harvested then vinified using native yeast. Following fermentation, the wine spends 12 months in a 33hl cement vessel until bottling.

93 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media “The 2021 Chianti Classico La Misse di Candialle is bright, bold and punchy. Dollops of Malvasia Nera and Canaiolo lend complexity. Whereas so many wines in this vintage are pretty accessible, Candialle’s 2021 is going to need a few years to soften. The purity of the flavors is striking though.”
