A good value proposition, the Castellare di Castellina 2021 Chianti Classico is made with 95% Sangioveto (or Sangiovese) and 5% Canaiolo. The wine adheres to a traditional approach, and it shows the brightness and primary fruit, with cherry and dried raspberry, that is common to these local grape varieties. It finishes with easy-drinking silkiness. This is a release of 275,000 bottles.

An intense red, with saturated black cherry and blackberry fruit framed by menthol and tar aromas and flavors. Firmly structured and balanced, in its youthful way, with excellent length. A little aeration helps, so decant now. Sangioveto and Canaiolo. Drink now through 2030. 20,000 cases made, 7,000 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Chianti Classico Select to Add
