Castello di Volpaia’s 2018 Coltassala Chianti Classico Gran Selezione shows sculpted dark cherry and blackberry fruit layered with violet, citrus lift and subtle spice, framed by fine, tightly knit tannins and a stony, savory edge. The vintage brings particular precision and energy, giving a sense of freshness and focus that lengthens the finish and promises graceful development in bottle.
Bistecca alla Fiorentina, pappardelle al ragù di cinghiale, aged Pecorino Toscano

Coltassala Gran Selezione is Castello di Volpaia’s single‑vineyard flagship from the estate’s oldest, high‑altitude site in Radda (Coltassala), made predominantly from superior Sangiovese clones with a touch of Mammolo on sandstone soils and certified organic vines; it’s classically Radda in style—elegant and floral yet structured, with concentrated red/black fruit, spice and polished oak, firm fine-grained tannins and long ageing potential.
