From Castell'in Villa in Italy’s Chianti Classico DOCG, the Chianti Classico Riserva 2019 is a refined 100% Sangiovese sourced from estate vineyards in Castelnuovo Berardenga on limestone-clay soils that impart mid-weight elegance and structure. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2019 vintage—marked by moderate conditions yielding concentrated yet vibrant fruit—undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, followed by 24 months' aging in large Slavonian oak casks to enhance integration and complexity. This historic estate, emphasizing traditional methods, yields a ruby red wine with garnet edges and harmonious poise.

Tasting Notes An elegant, structured red with ripe red fruit and earthy savoriness, reflecting Chianti Classico’s limestone terroir. The nose reveals red cherries, wax, subtle flowers, minerals, and cherry stones. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and harmonious, with refined tannins, tight-knit acidity, and flavors of dried fruits, spice, and a savory, chewy finish.

Awards and Accolades The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva earned 94 points from James Suckling for its crunchy vibrancy and pure Sangiovese expression.

Serving and Cellaring Serve at 16-18°C with 45 minutes of decanting to enhance aromas. Ideal with roasted poultry, pasta with meat sauce, or aged cheeses. Enjoy now through 2033, developing greater leather and earthy nuances over time.
