The venerable Castello di Volpaia sits high up in the province of Radda in Chianti at elevations between 1300-1970ft. This high elevation works perfectly with the near ideal 2021 vintage allowing Castello di Volpaia to create an incredibly alluring Riserva. Soaring aromatics combine with a silky-smooth palate that displays that illusive combination of density, elegance and balance. Notes of sage, fine leather, and cherries linger on the suave palate. Enjoy now and over the next ten years. “The 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva is fabulous. Vibrant and translucent in the glass, it offers so much pedigree. Dark cherry, leather, licorice, tobacco and lavender are some of the many nuances that open in the glass. Readers will find a deceptively mid-weight Riserva endowed with notable poise. Drink 2025-2036.” - 94 Antonio Galloni, Vinous & 95 Wine Spectator - Very limited.
