“The 2022 Tenuta degli Dei is superb...one of the most original and distinctive wines in Chianti Classico.” – Vinous

TUSCANY, glorious Tuscany! 95 POINTS on dark, inky, MONSTROUSLY delicious Chianti Cabernet blend. After a few years in hiding — the one and only Tenuta Degli Dei is BACK!!! OVER 50% OFF, people! A little slice of Panzano heaven, where half Cabernet Sauvignon, a healthy dash of Petit Verdot, and some gorgeous Cabernet Franc come together…at a simply mind-rattlingly price.

The Cavalli Family has run this spectacular estate since the early 70’s and if the name sounds familiar to you fashionistas out there, yes, it is that CAVALLI. Roberto Cavalli, who brought sand-blasted jeans and exotic animal prints to the forefront of 80’s fashion (the shame, the shame!) ran this estate for years with his son, Tomasso. Together, they bred horses, grew grapes and made some truly amazing wines! He sadly passed in April 2024, but Tomasso has continued forth…and these beauties are worthy of a runway all their own!

It’s soooo rich, and heady, and warmly spiced, and CLASSICALLY Italy. Sour cherries, black plums, a bit of rustic, sun-cracked leather saddle, with chipped stone and dusty herbs, and that  unmistakable Tuscan pedigree resonating brightly. Sweetarts and raspberries, with sage, and blueberries, mint, and blood orange, too...WOWZA! Incredible depth and complexity — and worthy of a hearty Tuscan meal. A visit to Darrio the MAD BUTCHER of Chianti just up the road perhaps? Oh, YES!!! I said 95 POINTS, right? FOR THIS PRICE?! Man, what a STEAL!

Under $40 for an Estate of the Gods wine like this? Ah, TUSCANY, glorious Tuscany shines bright again!

While it lasts, friends!!

"The 2022 Tenuta degli Dei is superb. Dark, ample and layered, the 2022 has a lot to offer. Sumptuous black cherry, plum, leather, menthol, sage and mocha are beautifully delineated. The blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Petit Verdot and 15% Cabernet Francis unusual for its strong presence of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, both of which are rarely seen in Chianti Classico. It's an approach that works so well here. The 2022 spent 18 months in French oak, 50% new, with a growing emphasis on slightly larger barrels for the Petit Verdot and Franc. Tenuta degli Dei remains one of the most original and distinctive wines in Chianti Classico." ~Vinous

"A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Petit Verdot and 15% Cabernet Franc, the Tenuta degli Dei 2022 Cavalli is a rich and pleasurable expression with velvety intensity and plenty of black fruit. This richly textured Tuscan red delivers pretty clarity of aromas; plum, blackberry and dark cherry appear with brightness next to delicate floral notes. This release of 18,900 bottles (plus larger formats) benefits from a lighter winemaking approach in which the fruit is given more space to shine. Owned by Tommaso Cavalli, this estate has vineyards at 400 meters in elevation on galestro shale soils." ~Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Deep and intense on the nose, with cherry liqueur, plums, black olives and dark spices. The medium- to full-bodied palate is rich, polished and juicy, with very fine tannins framing it. Lingering finish. Drink or hold." ~James Suckling
