Produced mainly from \u003cstrong\u003eSangiovese\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, the emblematic varietal of Tuscany, this red wine reveals a strong yet harmonious character, typical of the best Chianti Classico Riservas.

The result is a full-bodied, balanced wine of great elegance and remarkable longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2006 vintage was considered excellent throughout the Chianti Classico area. The climatic conditions were particularly favorable: an excellent diurnal temperature range and a dry summer ensured healthy and perfectly ripe grapes. In the Castell’in Villa vineyards, with an average age between 15 and 25 years and located between 250 and 320 meters above sea level, the grapes achieved an ideal balance between sugars, acidity, and phenolic maturity, essential elements for obtaining a Riserva of great structure and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking adheres strictly to Tuscan traditions. Alcoholic fermentation, activated with \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e (natural to the grape), takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, between 28 and 30°C, for about 12-14 days. This is followed by a period of maceration on the skins, which allows the wine to extract color, tannins, and complex aromas. Aging then continues for 24-36 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, a wood that promotes slow and harmonious evolution. After bottling, the wine completes its maturation with at least 12 months of rest in the cellar before being released to the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the \u003cstrong\u003eChianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2006 - Castell’in Villa\u003c\/strong\u003e shows an intense ruby red with slight garnet hues, a sign of elegant evolution in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose is striking for the depth of its aromas: small ripe red fruits, cherry in spirits, and floral notes of violet intertwine with hints of sweet spices, tobacco, and a balsamic touch.
