"A delicious Chianti by Sting, approachable and flavorful, whose tasting will make your palate dance!"

“The Tenuta Il Palagio 2022 Chianti When We Dance (made from certified organic Sangiovese and a tiny amount of Canaiolo and Colorino) is lively and bold, with aromas of candied cherry and redcurrant that stand out beautifully in the glass. No barrel aging is used. The approachable character of the Sangiovese is perfect for pairing with gnocchi in a creamy cheese sauce. The finish is fairly light but fresh, with dry, mineral notes on the palate.” (Wine Advocate 2024)

Review by Mr. Gilles D. Posted on October 4, 2025

Despite its very elegant presentation, I remain somewhat skeptical of this Chianti, which has a smooth, juicy, and lively profile with intense flavors of vibrant red fruits, though these are underscored by pronounced acidity. Present yet refined tannins accompany the vibrant, mineral-driven finish. I would have appreciated a bit more body and substance. Ultimately, it feels a bit overpriced. It pairs well and is easy to drink with a hearty plate of spaghetti carbonara sprinkled with Parmesan. Rating = 3.8.
