Produced predominantly from \u003cstrong\u003eSangiovese\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, sourced from vineyards located between 250 and 320 meters above sea level, it fully represents the elegance and strength of the Sienese territory. The body is full yet refined, with smooth tannins and excellent structure, capable of evolving over time while maintaining freshness and harmony.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2001 vintage was described by experts as one of the most balanced vintages of the last decades in Tuscany. The climatic trend, characterized by a warm but not excessive summer and good temperature excursions between day and night, favored a \u003cstrong\u003euniform ripening of the grapes\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result was a wine of great complexity, in which the power of Sangiovese is combined with a pleasant aromatic finesse.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nAlcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature (28-30°C) for a period of about 12-14 days, using \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e—the yeasts naturally present on the grape skins, which help preserve the identity of the territory. This is followed by a prolonged maceration to extract color and tannin in a balanced way.\nAging takes place in large \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for 24-36 months, after which the wine remains in the cellar for another 12 months in the bottle, developing complexity and harmony. This long process makes Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2001 - Castell’in Villa a wine of extraordinary longevity.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nVisually, it presents a \u003cstrong\u003edeep ruby red\u003c\/strong\u003e with slight garnet reflections, a sign of elegant and well-balanced evolution.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe aroma is broad and inviting: notes of \u003cstrong\u003eripe cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e, plum, aromatic herbs, and slight hints of tobacco and sweet spices emerge. The bouquet is complex, continuously evolving after opening the bottle.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the palate, it is structured, warm, and enveloping. The \u003cstrong\u003etannin\u003c\/strong\u003e—that sensation of slight astringency typical of red wines—is fine and well integrated. The persistence is long and harmonious, with a finish that recalls red fruit and accents of vanilla and cocoa.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat dishes to pair with Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2001 - Castell’in Villa\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThis Chianti Classico Riserva is perfect for accompanying dishes with strong flavors and traditional Tuscan preparations.
