From Castell'in Villa in Italy’s Castelnuovo Berardenga subzone of Chianti Classico, the Chianti Classico DOCG 2019 is a refined 100% Sangiovese sourced from eight estate sites on alluvial soils with pebbles and sand at 250-300 meters elevation. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2019 vintage undergo natural fermentation with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks for 10-12 days, followed by 12 months' aging in traditional large Slavonian oak casks to enhance complexity and structure. Practicing organic viticulture under proprietor Coralia Pignatelli della Leonessa, this production yields a ruby wine with vibrant intensity and classic elegance.
Tasting Notes An elegant, structured red with pure cherry and mineral finesse, reflecting Chianti Classico’s alluvial terroir. The nose is pure Sangiovese with restrained yet well-defined red cherries, wax, subtle flowers, minerals, and cherry stones. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied with refined, filigreed tannins, tight-knit acidity, and a savory, chewy, tight yet well-balanced finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2019 Chianti Classico earned 94 points from Vinous for its dramatic evolution, textural intensity, and serious delivery.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 16-18°C with 45-60 minutes of decanting to unfold aromas. Ideal with roasted poultry, pasta with wild boar ragù, or aged cheeses. Enjoy now through 2035, developing greater leather and earthy depth over time.
