I feel like a new benchmark for fine wine is being set by Maddalena Fucile and Matteo Vaccari of Cigliano di Sopra in San Casciano Val di Pesa. These young winemaking colleagues studied enology together in Florence and both worked with Sashi Moorman and Rajat Parr at Domaine de la Côte in California and at other prestigious wine estates in Italy. Winemaking is hands-on and artisanal in the stone underground cellar of Maddalena's family Tuscan villa. Farming is organic and biodynamic, and I want to underline the sheer excitement I feel for these wines and this promising up-and-coming estate.

The organic Cigliano di Sopra 2022 Chianti Classico is just beautiful with a clarity and quality of fruit that is simply spectacular. It is light and bright all at once. It hits all the high notes, and it shows a special transparency despite the warm vintage conditions. Your mouth will pucker thanks to the tart acidity. The style is slightly volatile or carbonic in character, but that's what adds so much vertical lift. 93, Monica Larner
