Dievole, although new to us, is a historic estate established in the 11th century.
We recently tasted their range of excellent wines, but one stood out in particular: Petrignano, their single-vineyard Chianti Classico.
This is a small cru of seven hectares in the commune of Castelnuovo Berardenga, situated at the peak of the hill at around 300m elevation on a rock formation known as Albarese, alternating layers of marly limestones, limestones and clay.
The wine spends 13 months in large (4,100 litre), untoasted French oak casks.
We love its finesse, complexity, and minerality, which combine to create a delicate and pure form of Chianti—Sangiovese at its best. The excellent 2019 vintage's ripeness adds a further dimension of richness.
