Fattoria Tregole Chianti
Tuscan Sangiovese, priced like it should be.
The story behind Fattoria Tregole
Chianti Classico is a place before it is a wine: the hills between Florence and Siena, where Sangiovese ripens slowly and keeps its acidity and its grip. The Classico name is protected, and the wine must come from that delimited zone, which is why it tastes firmer and more savory than generic Tuscan reds. Fattoria Tregole works in that tradition, and the bottles we stock show the house style plainly: bright cherry, dried herbs, a dusty tannin that wants food.
We have carried this estate for years because it behaves like a farm wine should, honest vintage to vintage and modest in price. The Riserva spends longer in wood and comes out darker and more structured. If you know Chianti only from straw baskets, Tregole is the correction.

Which Fattoria Tregole is right for you?
These are working prices, not collector prices. The Chianti Classico at $15.99 is the bottle to keep a case of for weeknight pasta. Step to the Toscana at $17.99 when you want something rounder and less tannic. The Chianti Classico Riserva at $19.99 is the one to open with a long braise or a steak, and it still costs less than most entry level reds from anywhere else. All three are 750mL, and all three sell out when we restock.
Acidity cuts through tomato sauce and the price lets you pour a second glass.
Extra wood and tannin hold up to short rib, ragu and aged pecorino.
Softer and fruit forward, it drinks well before dinner and with it.
