Tasting Notes

"A milestone in peninsular viticulture, a top quality product since years. Small fruits on the nose, black raspberry above all, touches of laurel, then juniper and eucalyptus nuances on the closure. The mouth reveals juiciness, density and crispness, with iodine tannins and return of the dark fruits."

98+ Points - Luca Gardini, Gardini Notes, Chianti 2022

“Selected from eight vineyards with yields between 35 and 45hL/ha, Castello di Volpaia’s 2019 Riserva is aged in a combination of French and Slavonian oak barrels. It’s polished and detailed without sacrificing its tousled charms and grip. Heady cherry blossoms, warm flinty stone and grilled herbs greet the nose. On the palate, crunchy acidity and a clever blood orange lift lend brightness to black cherry and dark earth nuances. Sturdy enough for the next decade.”

The Producer

Castello di Volpaia

Castello di Volpaia is located in the medieval village of Volpaia. The estate is over 900 acres (360 ha) divided between vineyards, olive groves and woods. The winery is organically farmed for producing extra virgin olive oil, vinegar and wine, in particular Chianti Classico. The winery is owned by Carlo and Giovannella Mascheroni Stianti, who are assisted by their son Nicolo' Mascheroni Stianti. The village of Volpaia is sited on a hilltop just north of the town of Radda in Chianti, 2,024 feet (617 m) above the sea level, in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. Volpaia was built in the 11th century as a fortified village on the Florence-Siena border. Unlike Brolio, Meleto and other Chianti-area castles, Volpaia is a terra murata, a walled village. Although only part of the original protective walls and two of its six towers are still standing, the medieval layout and buildings within the village are still intact, making Volpaia one of the best-preserved villages of its period.
