Rocca di Castagnoli Chianti Classico

$25.00

Varietal Birthplace Year
Sangiovese Chianti 2006

This Tuscan beauty has alluring aromas of black cherry, tobacco and earth with notions of chocolate, tar and smoke. Core flavors of cherry are enhanced by an interesting gamey note. It's medium-bodied with good balance and nicely structured tannins.

Black cherry, blood orange, chocolate, smoke and tobacco.
Owned by Calogero Calì, a successful lawyer from Milan, Rocca di Castagnoli is a vast property in the high hills of the Gaiole region of Tuscany that is managed with great integrity and meticulous attention to viticulture. In fact, the winery has led important research into Sangiovese clones and their interaction with Chianti's mosaic of soil types. Rather than blending lots from its different vineyards, historically a common practice in Chianti, winemaker Beppe Caviola concentrates on terroir-focused wines from different vineyards on the estate. Their Super Tuscan blends are among the best in the region.
Break out your best artisanal salumi for a superb antipasto pairing with the Castagnoli, then enjoy the wine with a main course of simply flavored pork, veal, game or beef. I think my recipe for Meat Counter Mixed Grill with Salsa Verde is a marvelous summer suggestion for a gathering of family and friends.
Tuscany is widely regarded as the true birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and has been home to some of the most influential people in history, such as Petrarch, Dante, Botticelli, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Amerigo Vespucci and Puccini.
