Castello di Cacchiano CASTELLO DI CACCHIANO Chianti Classico Riserva 2018

Description

The Chianti Classico Riserva by Castello di Cacchiano is a fruity wine with hints of spices and leather. On the palate it shows an important structure. However balanced, fresh, with snappy tannins and character

The imposing structure of the Cacchiano Castle has been among the properties of the Ricasoli-Firidolfi family since the Middle Ages. Giovanni Ricasoli-Firidolfi is now taking care of the estate and has about 30 hectares of vineyards in this sub-area south of Gaiole in Chianti.

The vineyards are high up, at an average of 400 meters above sea level. The stony soils. The Chianti Classico produced here therefore tends to be more fragrant and elephantine than powerful and opulent.

Quality with tradition, no to the fashions imposed by the market. This is the simple philosophy on which the wines of Castello di Cacchiano are based. The new plants always derive from careful mass selection, long macerations, the use of large barrels instead of barriques, are just some of the clues that reveal how Giovanni’s wines aim at a model of Chianti purity.
