We’re thrilled to share that our Chianti Classico has been recognized by Gambero Rosso for its outstanding quality-to-price ratio, earning a top spot among wines under 20 euros.
As William Pregentelli notes, ‘The hallmarks of Chianti Classico, especially over the past decade, are those of a truly contemporary wine: finesse, drinkability, elegance, and smooth character, all woven into reds with a unique and defining personality. In the finest examples, the structure is a harmonious blend of tannins, acidity, and savory depth. It would be a mistake to assume that these qualities are found only in Gran Selezioni or Riserve.
The beauty of Chianti Classico lies in the fact that even the ‘basic’ bottlings often possess a strong sense of identity, showcasing all the characteristics we’ve described, with depth and the potential to evolve, revealing new nuances with age. Another advantage is the frequently consumer-friendly pricing.
The following list comprises our top picks of Chianti Classico wines, available at wine shops or online for under 20 euros, and featured in Gambero Rosso’s Berebene 2025 and Vini d’Italia 2025 guides.
Chianti Classico ’22 – Tenuta di Campomaggio
The Chianti Classico ’22 from Tenuta Campomaggio boasts well-defined aromas with a refreshing profile, recalling red berries and undergrowth. On the palate, it’s notably sleek and flavorful, with a layered development and a lingering, fruit-driven finish. Tenuta di Campomaggio, with its 25 hectares of vineyards, is located in the Additional Geographical Unit of Radda in Chianti and is part of the Castellani wine group.”
