2024 Malenchini Chianti Colli Fiorentini

The 2024 Malenchini Chianti Colli Fiorentini is a vibrant and authentic expression of Sangiovese from the historic hills surrounding Florence. Produced by the Malenchini family on organically farmed vineyards within the Colli Fiorentini subzone, the wine reflects a long tradition of sustainable viticulture and classic Tuscan winemaking. The warm days and cool evenings of the region help preserve freshness while allowing the fruit to achieve excellent ripeness and balance.

The nose reveals red cherry, wild raspberry and plum alongside notes of violet, dried herbs and subtle spice. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, with bright red berry fruit supported by fine tannins and lively acidity. Hints of earthy savoury notes, tobacco and almond add complexity, while the finish is fresh, elegant and distinctly Tuscan in character. The 2024 vintage showcases the purity and drinkability that make Chianti such a versatile food wine.

Ben’s Recommendation:
A classic organic Chianti that offers freshness, authenticity and exceptional value. Bright, savoury and highly food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with pasta dishes, wood-fired pizza, roast pork, grilled meats and aged pecorino cheese. Enjoy now and over the next 5–7 years while its vibrant fruit and regional character are at their peak.
