From Castell'in Villa in Italy’s Castelnuovo Berardenga subzone of Chianti Classico, the Gazzarina Toscana IGT 2022 is a refined 100% Sangiovese sourced from estate vineyards on alluvial soils with pebbles and sand at 250-300 meters elevation. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2022 vintage undergo natural fermentation with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks for 10-12 days, followed by brief aging in concrete or steel to preserve freshness and fruit purity. Practicing organic viticulture under proprietor Coralia Pignatelli della Leonessa, this everyday "house wine" yields a vivid ruby wine with light depth and approachable elegance.
Tasting Notes An elegant, vibrant red with pure cherry and subtle mineral freshness, reflecting Chianti Classico’s alluvial terroir. The nose reveals freshly pricked bing cherry, strawberry, pomegranate, and hints of flowers and herbs. On the palate, it is light- to medium-bodied and food-friendly, with bright acidity, fine tannins, and flavors of red berries and a touch of earthiness, leading to a clean, juicy finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2022 Gazzarina Toscana IGT is celebrated as Castell'in Villa's fresh, traditional house wine.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 14-16°C with 20-30 minutes of decanting to enhance aromas. Ideal with pasta, grilled sausages, or pizza. Enjoy now through 2032, developing subtle earthy nuances over time.
