Chiara Condello, Predappio 2023, Emilia Romagna

Having earned her stripes at her family’s winery, Condé, Chiara took charge of four hectares of vines, also in the village of Predappio (Emilia-Romagna). The soil here is predominantly spungone – limestone replete with fossils – and the principal grape is Sangiovese Piccolo. As the name suggests, it has smaller berries than its Tuscan counterpart, and responds well to the whole-bunch fermentations favoured by Chiara. Her wines are characterised by scintillating floral and herbal aromas, fine tannins and cleansing acidity.
