La Canonica di San Vincenti IGT mini vertical with a bottle each of 2017, 2018 and 2019.

A new estate located in Gaiole in Chianti Classico and owned by a Belgian family. This wine is from 95% Sangiovese and 5% Cabernet-Franc, partly aged in wooden barrels. The winemaker is none other than Markus Edler von der Planitz, a winemaker who more than earned his stripes at top domains such as Montevertine, Ama and was also responsible for the great wines of Rampolla, clearly someone who understands his craft…! I found the first years a tad too austere, too much on pure power, but here too finesse and elegance are increasingly sought after.
This package gives you an excellent idea of what this new producer is capable off.
