Castello di Volpaia’s 2019 Coltassala Chianti Classico Gran Selezione shows layered cherry and raspberry fruit edged by citrus zest, sweet herbs and a whisper of smoke, all carried on a vibrant spine of acidity. Medium-bodied yet concentrated, it glides across the palate with polished but firm tannins and a long, stony, savory finish that promises even greater complexity with time in the cellar.
Bistecca alla Fiorentina; Pappardelle al cinghiale (wild boar ragu); 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.
