From Castell'in Villa in Italy’s Chianti Classico DOCG, the Chianti Classico 2015 is a refined 100% Sangiovese sourced from estate vineyards in Castelnuovo Berardenga on limestone-rich alberese and galestro soils at 300-350 meters elevation that impart intensity and longevity. Hand-harvested grapes from the structured 2015 vintage—marked by warm conditions yielding powerful yet balanced fruit—undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 24 months' aging in large Slavonian oak casks to foster integration and depth. This traditional estate emphasizes organic practices, yielding a garnet red wine with orange reflections and profound maturity.
Tasting Notes An elegant, mature red with dried red fruit and complex earthy spice, reflecting Chianti Classico’s limestone terroir. The nose reveals dried cherry, leather, truffle, and hints of tobacco, balsamic herbs, and graphite. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet refined, with evolved tannins, vibrant acidity, and flavors of dark plum, mineral earthiness, and subtle oak, leading to a long, persistent finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2015 Chianti Classico earned 95 points from James Suckling for its layered complexity and elegant evolution.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 16-18°C with 60 minutes of decanting to unfold aromas. Ideal with roasted game, truffle-infused dishes, or aged cheeses. Enjoy now through 2035, at its peak with tertiary leather and earthy nuances.
