The Chianti Classico is the pillar of Castello di Volpaia. It has a vivid ruby red color and a strong nose of fresh red fruit with hints of cherry. A well structured wine with a fruity finish. In 2022 we had a warm winter with little rain. March initially hot and then cold which led to a delayed budding. From April temperatures generally above average with very little rain. Flowering started around May 20th. A hailstorm on July 7 slightly affected the entire wine estate. First grapes turning color on July 18th. Around August 16-19 heavy rains but temperatures remained high. Berries presented themselves with thick skins and ripe tannins. Harvest from mid-September to early November.
A delicious, well-rounded and velvety Chianti Classico with aromas of strawberries, raspberries and mild spices. Medium-bodied with finely grained tannins and texture. Juicy and velvety with elegance and a pure character. Fresh and delicious finish. From organically grown grapes.
The 2022 Chianti Classico is a lovely wine from Volpaia. Aromatic, light on its feet and gracious, the Chianti Classico here is a consistently fine example of Radda. Clean mineral notes shape this bright, taut offering. A burst of red fruit, chalk, white pepper and mint lingers on the finish
Juicy cherry, strawberry and currant fruit abounds, along with a savory side sporting thyme, juniper and earth notes. It finishes with dusty tannins. Drink now through 2025. 14,000 cases made, 10,000 cases imported.
