The Story
The 2023 Castiglioni Chianti has a beautiful, vibrant ruby-red color. On the nose, it is fruity, with hints of berries, such as cranberry and blackberry, currant and strawberry tree. It also has a pleasant floral note, reminding us of dog rose and violet. A delicate spiciness follows. On the palate, it is very lively and at the same time soft and elegant. The fruity notes return to the palate giving a rich and satisfying finish. This wine has a distinct but smooth tannic texture.
Pairs well with savory dishes such as pappardelle with meat sauce, but also roast chicken, strips of beef with vegetables and medium-aged cheeses.
91 Points - James Suckling
A delicious, juicy and well-rounded Chianti with aromas of strawberries, red currants and some forest berries. Medium-bodied with soft tannins. Mellow and fruit-driven with a satisfying finish.
