Chianti Superiore Castello Trebbio 2024

The Chianti Superiore Castello Trebbio is a satisfying everyday wine, capable of telling the story of one of the most suitable municipalities in Chianti. The Castello del Trebbio is located in Pontassieve and dominates one of the most representative areas of Chianti, namely Rufina, where Sangiovese manages to express itself excellently. The winemaker overseeing this now established Tuscan reality is Stefano Casadei, already known for other wines that bear his signature, and capable of imparting to the liquids an identity style aimed at elegance. In the vineyard, and by extension throughout the estate, the Bio-Integrale protocol is followed, which is an approach that combines some principles of biodynamics with a particular focus on the use of renewable energies, allowing nature to express itself freely. Intervention is only made when necessary; the rest is done through observation and care. Tradition and experimentation, such as the use of amphorae during vinification, although all wines are characterized by millimetric precision.

The Chianti Superiore from Castello Trebbio is obtained from the classic Chianti blend, which predominantly includes Sangiovese and small percentages of Colorino and Ciliegiolo. The vineyards rest on hilly soils with medium texture cultivated following some precepts of biodynamics and a minimally invasive approach. In the cellar, maceration for about 15 days in temperature-controlled steel tanks and spontaneous fermentation are the prelude to a maturation of 6 months in Slavonian oak barrels and another 6 months in stainless steel, before the final bottling.

The Chianti Superiore wine presents itself in the glass with an intense ruby hue, edged with violet reflections. The nose is typical and reassuring, interweaving hints of red fruit, where cherry is prominent, with floral notes and spices, along with a touch of graphite. A full and round sip, but never clumsy, enlivened by a juicy component that guarantees immediate drinkability. A beautiful bottle, to be opened every day.
