Wine Enthusiast, 91 Points 

"Aromas of licorice, menthol and ripe dark-skinned berry carry over to the linear, savory palate along with orange zest before an almost salty finish. It's polished, with fine-grained tannins. Drink through 2028." 

Decanter, 91 Points 

"Petrignano is a new wine for Dievole, the result of the estate’s collaboration with Chilean soil specialist, Pedro Parra. It comes from a recently planted 15ha site between 300 and 330 metres above sea level, distinguished by an abundance of limestone near the surface. The nose is flinty and iron-speckled, giving way to sun-soaked wild berries. It balances the generous warmth of the south with freshness and long, chalky tannins, sneaking some vibrant acidity in there too." 

James Suckling, 90 Points 

"A bright, easygoing CC with aromas and flavors of sour cherries and flowers. Barely medium-bodied with some racy, grapefruit freshness on the palate. Turns a little firm at the end, but remains bright and fresh. From organically grown grapes." 

Wine Advocate, 90 Points 

"This is a new submission from Dievole that focuses on the Sangiovese grape exclusively. The organic 2019 Chianti Classico Petrignano is fermented in tulip-shaped cement vats and aged in botte grande for 13 months. Some 10,000 bottles were made. The wine offers easy balance and freshness with textbook aromas of cherry, wild fruit, tar and smoke. It's all very becoming for an entry-level wine such as this." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Dievole Petrignano Chianti Classico is a deep ruby red color. There's a fruity bouquet of distinctive ripe fruit, cherry and blackberry notes. Juicy, full and opulent on the palate with confirmation of the blackberries and ripe fruit. A warming and velvety finish with fine, polished tannins."
