Description
"Generously fruited and fragrant, the bouuet displays ripe cherry, dar plum, charcuterie, blac olive and walnut characters. The palate is fruity and savoury at the same time, showing excellent mid palate weight and roundness, brilliantly structured by fine, chaly tannins, finishing persistent and attractively dry. At its best: now to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2018.
Castiglioni Chianti 2016 is the deep ruby red with scarlet hues typical of younger wines. The nose is intensely fruity, with notes of cherry, wild strawberry and blackberry alongside mediterranean floral and herbal scents. In the mouth the wine is sprightly but gives way to a pleasant softness and intense fruity aromas before closing with a persistent but delicate and clean finish.
Thanks to the favourable soil and climate, Chianti Castiglioni reflects its lands’ characteristics as a soft, pleasantly fruity wine noted for its strong and well defined personality.
Following a particularly dry and mild winter, the 2016 growing season began a week earlier than the previous year. Spring began with a cool and wet climate that encouraged the accumulation of the water reserves necessary for the plants’ development. The harvest season was particularly favourable for the extended period of time without rainfall, but especially for the exceptional temperature variation between night and day, which is ideal for the accumulation of polyphenols within the grapes.
Food Pairing: We recommend trying with a variety of full flavoured dishes, such as meat-sauced pappardelle, and roast chicken as well, sautéed beef with vegetables, and medium-aged cheeses.
