What kind of wine is Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG “Poggio delle Rose” 2010 - Castell’in Villa
The Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG “Poggio delle Rose” 2010 - Castell’in Villa is the most elegant and profound expression of Castell’in Villa’s red wines. It originates in the heart of Chianti Senese, in a historic cru of the estate, at an altitude of about 350 meters, where the south-southeast exposure and meticulous vineyard care yield grapes of excellent quality. The main grape variety is 100% Sangiovese, the symbolic variety of Tuscany, which here stands out for its balance, structure, and aging potential. This wine presents a full yet harmonious body, fine tannic structure, and a long finish, characteristics that make it a Chianti Classico Riserva capable of fascinating evolution over time.Vintage details
The 2010 vintage is remembered as one of the most balanced of the last decades in Chianti Classico. The cool and consistent climatic conditions allowed for a slow and complete ripening of the grapes, favoring complex aromas and soft tannins. The harvest was carried out manually towards the end of September, with a careful selection of bunches to ensure only the best skins and pulp for winemaking.Winemaking and aging
The winemaking of Chianti Classico Riserva “Poggio delle Rose” 2010 follows a traditional style that respects the raw material. Fermentation occurs spontaneously thanks to indigenous yeasts (i.e., naturally present on the grape skins), in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28-30°C for about 12-14 days. After racking, the wine ages for a total of 24 to 36 months: first in French Allier oak barriques (half new) and then in large Slavonian oak barrels, which impart complexity without overpowering the fruit's finesse. Bottling follows without filtration, and then another year of refinement in glass before release, ensuring perfect harmony between structure and aromatic finesse.Tasting notes
Color: Intense ruby with garnet reflections typical of aged Sangiovese.
Nose: The nose opens with enveloping aromas of ripe cherry, black cherry, and withered flowers, followed by notes of sweet spices, tobacco, and light balsamic hints that speak of the long aging in wood.
Palate: On the palate, it is balanced and profound. The tannins are fine yet firm, the structure is full and harmonious, with a long, persistent finish where fruity and spicy sensations return. It is a wine of great elegance, ideal for those seeking a Chianti Classico Riserva capable of expressing authenticity and longevity.

1. Bottle Positioning
Before opening the Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG “Poggio delle Rose” 2010 - Castell’in Villa, it is crucial to position the bottle vertically for at least 24 hours. This allows the natural sediment, typical of aged wines, to settle at the bottom, preventing it from mixing with the wine during service.
2. Ideal Serving Temperature
The ideal serving temperature for a Chianti Classico Riserva is 18°C. If the bottle is stored in a cooler cellar, it is advisable to bring it to room temperature gradually, avoiding sudden temperature changes that could alter the complex aromas of the wine.
3. Opening the Bottle
Use a lever or double-hinged corkscrew to gently extract the cork, avoiding jerks that could stir up the sediment. For particularly old or fragile corks, an ah-so corkscrew can be used to reduce the risk of breakage. After removing the capsule, thoroughly clean the bottle neck.
