The Rosso Toscana IGT Riecine, produced by the Riecine estate in the heart of Chianti Classico, represents an authentic expression of the Tuscan territory. Made mainly from Sangiovese grapes, this wine reflects the traditional character and elegance of local viticulture. After controlled fermentation, the red is aged in oak barrels, a process that enriches the aromatic profile with delicate spicy notes and hints of cherry and ripe plum.

In the glass, it presents a bright ruby color, while on the nose it releases intense aromas of red fruits, accompanied by light earthy nuances and a touch of vanilla due to the aging. On the palate, it reveals a balanced structure, soft tannins, and a pleasant final persistence, ideal to accompany typical Tuscan dishes such as bistecca alla fiorentina or wild boar ragù.

The Rosso Toscana IGT Riecine is a versatile wine, capable of expressing the essence of Sangiovese and the Tuscan terroir with grace and strength.

Winery history
The contemporary Riecine took shape under John Dunkley, who acquired the land in 1971 and brought the first Chianti Classico to market in the early 1970s. The property later passed to the Baumann family and, in 2011, to Lana Frank; since 2015 Alessandro Campatelli has held technical roles and, according to the official website, in 2024 became the owner while retaining his role as winemaker and director. Over time the estate has expanded its vineyard holdings and developed signature labels such as the Chianti Classico, the Gran Selezione Vigna Gittori, Riecine di Riecine and other experimental wines.
Production philosophy
Production focused on minimal intervention: spontaneous fermentations without selected yeasts, limited use of winemaking aids, carefully calibrated aging and a strong commitment to respecting the terroir. The winery favors techniques that enhance the purity of Sangiovese and the typicity of the terroir.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate is located in Gaiole in Chianti, on hilly slopes at elevations of approximately 480–600 m above sea level; the soils include calcareous, schistose and galestro/shale components typical of the area, which contribute to the freshness and structure of the wines. The Vigna Gittori vineyard is noted as a significant parcel for the Gran Selezione.
Awards and recognitions
Riecine's wines regularly receive high scores from international critics across multiple vintages; individual bottlings frequently appear on score lists and in specialist reviews.
