Darkly toned and concentrated, Coltassala 2021 from Castello di Volpaia layers juicy black cherry and wild strawberry with hints of mint, tobacco, cocoa and subtle spice from French oak. The palate is powerful yet composed, with vertical, tightly wound tannins and a clear streak of Radda freshness that keeps the rich fruit and oak-driven complexity in balance, promising a more detailed, aromatic profile as it sheds its youthful muscle. Decant if opened now to let the structure relax and the bright inner perfume emerge.
Bistecca alla Fiorentina; Pappardelle with wild boar ragù; Herb-roasted lamb with garlic and rosemary

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.
