Chianti Classico Castell'in Villa 2018

Tuscan red Chianti Classico is a product that well embodies one of the most popular and world-renowned types of Italian wine. A pure Sangiovese, it is told with a delicate balsamic bouquet, capable of evolving positively in the coming years, should you decide to let it age further in the cellar. A label that is very pleasant to drink without ever being tiring, thanks to the excellent work done by the Castell'in Villa winery.

Chianti Classico, signed by Castell'in Villa winery, comes from the grapes of a grape variety that, in Tuscany, always gives wines of excellent quality, Sangiovese. The clusters are carefully selected during the harvest period so as to ensure only the best of the terroir of origin. The must obtained from pressing the grapes ferments spontaneously, thanks to the presence of only indigenous yeasts, in stainless steel containers. This is followed by the ageing phase, in which the wine rests first for 12 months in oak barrels and then, after bottling, for another 18 months directly in the glass. At the end of this period, bottling procedures begin.

This Chianti Classico made by the Castell'in Villa winery presents itself to the eye with intense colour reminiscent of ruby red tones. The nose is pervaded at first by balsamic notes, which then turn towards a set of more floral sensations on the finish. On the palate, it is full-bodied, refined and elegant, with a sip that moves on an interesting savoury progression, giving a satisfying beva. A perfect Tuscan red for pairing with main courses of red meat, and why not, perhaps staying within regional boundaries, with a succulent Florentine steak.
