Castell'in Villa Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2017

The grapes for this wine come from a field located 300-360 meters above sea level in central Castelnuovo Beradenga.

The subsoil here is a mix of stone, limestone and sand.

The grapes are the best grapes from the best plots around the cellar. The harvest has taken place several times in the period end of September - beginning of October.

After spontaneous fermentation in steel tanks under temperature control for 30 days, the wine has matured for 42 months in large French and Slavonian barrels and after stabilization in steel barrels, the wine has matured almost 2 years in bottle before release.

This is a very elegant wine, which expresses itself with red berries and fruits both in the nose and the mouth. It has a sublime balance, is cool in style and there is no barrel dominance.

This classic Riserva from Castell'in Villa has a legendary durability, and the first vintage of the wine, which was 1971, we have found to be completely fresh during tastings here in 2023.

The wine here is released very late compared to other producers, but when you taste it, it appears young but with huge potential.

The Riserva from Castell'in Villa typically comes on the market 2-3 years after the other producers.

The wine is unfiltered.

Organic form of production - certified from 2018.
