Castello di Radda – Chianti Classico DOCG – Red – 2019:

 

The Signature of Chianti Classico: Castello di Radda Red

The Castello di Radda Chianti Classico DOCG is a testament to the high-altitude terroir of Radda in Chianti, one of Tuscany’s most esteemed zones. Representing the iconic Gallo Nero tradition, this wine is predominantly crafted from meticulously selected Sangiovese grapes grown on calcareous-clay soils. It delivers a structured, savory, and beautifully balanced experience, making it a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of authentic Italian red wine.

Tasting Notes (Expert Profile)

• Color: Deep, intense ruby red, transitioning to a garnet hue with age.
• Nose: An intense and varietal bouquet, immediately recognizable by dominant notes of violet, black cherry, and ripe plum, complemented by sophisticated hints of graphite and fine tobacco.
• Palate: Harmonious and well-structured. The generous fruit core of wild berries and plum is perfectly counterbalanced by elegant, firm tannins and the refreshing acidity that defines high-quality Sangiovese. The finish is long, clean, and savory.
