Paolo Cianferoni (with the help of his sons) is making a concerted push for top winery in Chianti Classico. Considering the form of recent vintages, I’d say you can pick out a handful or peer estates that are in Paolo’s lofty orbit, but only a handful. What you have here is certified organic high elevation Sangiovese from a small family farm that can age for two decades. Is it the best Sangiovese on earth? — JM
