2019 Castell'in Villa Chianti Classico

Castell’in Villa Chianti Classico is produced exclusively from 100% Sangiovese grapes sourced from multiple vineyards in the Chianti Classico region.

The winemaking approach emphasizes the region’s terroir, capturing the soil’s earthy, spicy, and mineral characteristics. Designed with considerable aging potential, the wine reflects both the historical winemaking traditions and the diverse vineyard expressions of Chianti Classico.
