Chianti Classico

Medium

Princess Coralia Pignatelli della Leonessa reigns over 52ha of vineyard at Castelnuovo Berardenga in the south of the Chianti Classico hills. Her approach to wine production is simple and direct. She has always insisted that her intent is to make the wines that she likes best, independent of the stylistic fads that influence commercial demand. Following this principle for more than 30 years, she has established Castell’in Villa as an icon of classicism, a little detached perhaps (and little inclined to promotion), but with impeccable quality and consistency that speak for themselves. She makes more powerful wines than her straight Chianti Classico – the Riserva Poggio delle Rose has the structure to age for decades – but it is this ‘basic’ cuvée that perhaps best represents the essence of Chianti Classico. Don’t assume that it is a simple wine. It ages longer in wood than any other non-riserva Chianti, but it still expresses the joyous fruit-driven drinkability and transparent terroir character of The Real Thing.
Red berry fruit, pressed flowers and pomegranate aromas. A round and warm start on the palate, then a punchy progression and a long, layered, earthy finish, which offers the most classic sensations of violets and sour cherry.
