Energy and fragrance define the 2021 Castello di Volpaia Chianti Classico, with bright red and black cherry layered over rose, blood orange, and a touch of wild herbs. The palate is sleek and vibrant, carried by lively acidity and finely etched tannins that give shape without heaviness, finishing long, savory, and mouthwatering. A graceful yet characterful Radda Sangiovese blend that already drinks beautifully but has the backbone to develop more nuance in bottle.
Tagliatelle al ragù, grilled Tuscan sausage with rosemary potatoes, margherita pizza with fresh basil

Castello di Volpaia’s Chianti Classico is an elegant, organically farmed Sangiovese-led wine from high-elevation vineyards around the medieval village of Volpaia in Radda in Chianti; it typically shows vivid ruby color, bright cherry and red-fruit aromas with floral and savory spice notes, a firm mineral core from sandstone soils, and polished structure from maturation in large oak casks (with some small-barrel influence).
