🍷 Castellani – Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG
Italy | Tuscany | Chianti Classico DOCG | Sangiovese (with small amounts of traditional varieties)
Style: Still Red Wine | Medium-Bodied and Elegant
Winemaking: Aged for an extended period in oak barrels and bottle to achieve Riserva status, allowing Sangiovese’s structure and aromatics to integrate and mature. Crafted in a classic style that honours Tuscan heritage with polish and depth.
Farming: From hillside vineyards in the heart of Chianti Classico, where limestone-rich soils, sunny days, and cool nights yield vibrant fruit with savoury undertones and age-worthy structure.

🍒 A quintessential Riserva—layered, earthy, and elegantly expressive.

👁 In the Glass:
Brilliant ruby with garnet edges—refined and traditional.

👃 On the Nose:
A fragrant burst of red cherries, raspberries, and blackberries, lifted by a savoury, earthy bouquet of dried herbs, forest floor, and subtle oak spice.

👅 On the Palate:
Balanced and structured. Juicy red fruit is framed by fine tannins and bright acidity, delivering freshness and finesse. Notes of leather, dried thyme, and mineral add depth to a long, harmonious finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
A natural match for Bistecca alla Fiorentina and triple-cooked chips. Also superb with aged cheeses, rustic pasta dishes, or wild mushroom risotto.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Enjoy now or cellar for 5–8 years to develop further complexity and smoothness.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Castellani’s Chianti Classico Riserva is Tuscany in a glass—vibrant, savoury, and steeped in tradition. A beautifully crafted wine that pairs heritage with elegance.
