Chianti Classico DOCG - Riecine is born in the heart of the Tuscan territory, among the hills of Gaiole in Chianti, where Sangiovese finds a pure and enveloping expression. This wine, made predominantly with Sangiovese grapes cultivated according to traditional methods, faithfully reflects the character of the tuffaceous and calcareous soil that distinguishes the area. The aging takes place in oak barrels, which give structure and harmony, enhancing the intense aromas of cherry, violet, and sweet spices.

On the palate, it is elegant and balanced, with soft tannins and a fresh sapidity that make it perfect to accompany typical dishes such as game, braised meats, and aged cheeses. The longevity of this Chianti Classico enhances every sip over time, slowly revealing more complex notes of tobacco and jam. A label that authentically interprets the wine tradition of Chianti.

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.
