Discover Famiglia Castellani Chianti Classico Riserva:
Famiglia Castellani Chianti Classico Riserva is a testament to the rich heritage of Tuscan winemaking, embodying the quintessence of Sangiovese grapes. This particular Riserva is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, adhering to stringent regulations that demand a minimum aging period—often in oak barrels—which imparts depth and complexity.
On the palate, this Chianti Classico Riserva reveals a robust structure with velvety tannins that are the hallmark of expert aging. The wine’s profile is layered with ripe red fruits, notably cherry and plum, which are seamlessly interwoven with subtle hints of vanilla and spice derived from its time in oak. These flavors are underpinned by an earthy minerality and a touch of tobacco, creating an elegant balance between fruit-forwardness and savory undertones.
The color is typically a deep ruby red, suggesting concentration and vigor. As it matures in the bottle, it may develop garnet hues that signal its evolution. On the nose, one can expect an aromatic bouquet brimming with floral notes alongside earthy nuances—a reflection of the terroir from which it hails.
