Chiara Condello

We’re thrilled to have secured a small parcel of wines from Chiara Condello, one of Italy’s most exciting young winemakers. 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.
