WINE DESCRIPTION

Castellani Chianti Classico Riserva is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Castellani family in the Chianti Classico appellation of Tuscany, Italy. The wine is made from Sangiovese grapes grown in the family's vineyards, which are located in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. The vineyards are characterized by their high altitude, rocky soils, and ideal exposure to the sun, which results in grapes with intense flavors and aromas. The wine is aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 24 months, which gives it a complex and elegant character. Castellani Chianti Classico Riserva is a full-bodied wine with a rich and velvety texture, and it is known for its notes of dark fruit, spice, and leather. It is a perfect wine to pair with hearty meat dishes or aged cheeses.
