About this wine

Nestled on the highest hills of Radda in Chianti, in the heart of Chianti Classico, Tuscany, Premiata Fattoria di Castelvecchi features a remarkable millennial cellar beneath ancient castle vaults, surrounded by medieval landscapes of woods, vineyards, olive groves and historic villages. Owned by the Paladin family, the estate revives centuries-old Tuscan traditions through restored old vineyards and eleven distinct crus at 500 to 600 meters, each with its own microclimate and soil.

Deep ruby red with vibrant violet reflections. Inviting aromas of ripe red berries (cherry, plum and blueberry) with delicate floral hints of violet and rose and subtle spicy notes. The palate is harmonious and balanced, with good structure, lively acidity and soft, mature tannins that lend freshness and elegance. Full-bodied yet remarkably drinkable, a classic Sangiovese with great typicity from high-altitude Radda in Chianti.

Characterful, with long aging potential, and versatile enough to carry a whole meal.
