Description
The Castell’in Villa Chianti Classico 2019 is a mature and very elegant wine. Well-developed tannic texture to support the succulence of the fruit. The intensity, richness and complexity translate into tasty, earthy, truffle and dark fruit notes. Long and satisfying finish
Chianti Classico Castell’in Villa comes from vineyards planted on alluvial soil with pebbles and sand.
The must ferments in stainless steel using indigenous yeasts and is kept in contact with the skins for just under two weeks.
The wine is aged in large oval barrels for two years before bottling.
Castell’in Villa is a small property in Castelnuovo Berardenga, at the southern end of the Chianti Classico region. Both the Chianti Classico and the Riserva are pure Sangiovese, vinified with spontaneous fermentations and aged in traditional large barrels.
The owner of the estate, Coralia Pignatelli della Leonessa, has never had any doubts about the path to follow to achieve the quality she aims for: tradition, tradition, tradition.
The resulting wines are fragrant, distinctive, long-lived and delicious, proof that the Sangiovese grape can reach peaks of excellence when grown in the right place.
