Castello di Volpaia’s 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva layers ripe dark cherry and wild strawberry with hints of blood orange, dried flowers, leather and a touch of cocoa. The palate is sleek yet structured, with firm, fine tannins and vibrant acidity giving definition to the generous fruit and leading to a long, savory finish. This warm-vintage Riserva feels both concentrated and impressively balanced, showing real energy beneath its ripeness.
Bistecca alla Fiorentina; pappardelle al ragù di cinghiale; aged pecorino Toscano

Castello di Volpaia’s Chianti Classico Riserva is an organic, 100% Sangiovese Riserva from the high-elevation vineyards around Radda in Chianti, grown on sandstone (“macigno”) soils; it’s typically aged about two years in French and Slovenian oak and then bottled to show refined structure. The wine is known for bright cherry and floral notes edged by savory herbs, stony/mineral lift and firm, finely grained tannins—an elegant, food-friendly expression of Chianti Classico with aging potential.
