Castello di Volpaia CASTELLO DI VOLPAIA Chianti Classico Riserva 2021

Description

Castello di Volpaia Chianti Classico Riserva 2021 is a wine produced with organic grapes and stands out for its purity and freshness, characteristics of an exceptional vintage. This Riserva features light tones of cherry and dark berries, alongside notes of crushed limestone, blue flowers and a touch of wild herbs and bramble, elements often found in wines from this part of Tuscany. It is a choice that I gladly recommend to all Sangiovese lovers.

Volpaia is a small medieval village located on a hill just north of Radda in Chianti, in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. Volpaia was built in the 11th century as a fortified village on the border between Florence and Siena and is today a jewel of peace and beauty that enriches the territory of Radda in Chianti.

The Stianti-Mascheroni family is leading the company, assisted by Lorenzo Regoli and consultant Riccardo Cotarella. Castello di Volpaia is one of the leaders of the Tuscan wine Renaissance thanks also to the particular style of their wines which owe a lot to the terroir from which they benefit.

The vineyards enjoy an excellent exposure that goes from south-east to south-west and are favored, in these years of climate change, by a high location: the 46 hectare vineyard area is located between 450 and 600 meters on the hills to the south which lead to the village. The soils are also stony, also called Macigno del Chianti, and allow perfect permeability.

The wines are consistent with this scenario: ethereal, with well-defined floral and fruity notes and a mineral vein to refresh the sip.

Castello di Volpaia has been working organically for years to respect as much as possible the terroir from which its wines are born
