Castell'in Villa Chianti Classico 2018 DOCG 0.75l

Castell'in Villa Chianti Classico 2018 DOCG, 0.75 l, presents itself as a wine that tells the story of Chianti Classico through an expert hand and a carefully cultivated vineyard where nature is listened to and guided. This unique balance between tradition and attention to detail reflects the commitment of a winery rooted in the territory and its identity, capable of transforming each vintage into a sensory experience consistent with the landscape that generates it. The producer's history interacts with a company philosophy that prioritizes sustainability, vineyard selection, and meticulous management of operations. Patience is considered an indispensable resource for guiding the fruit to full ripeness without losing freshness, elegance, or depth. The approach to winemaking is based on meticulous care for the raw materials, careful monitoring during fermentation, and a maturation process designed to highlight the purity of the fruit along with a well-modulated tannic structure. The distinctive elements emerge from the encounter between a terroir characterized by sandy-clay soil, a favorable altitude, and a microclimate that offers a verticality of flavor, with management that favors healthy vineyards and controlled ripening, resulting in a profile distinguished by light minerality, notes of ripe cherry and plum, hints of violet, delicate pepper, and a trace of graphite that makes the palate persistent without being aggressive, a drink that fascinates with balance and precision. The stylistic characteristics manifest themselves in an intense ruby ​​​​color with garnet reflections, an aroma that combines juicy fruit, light florality, and earthy hints, and a velvety flavor texture that, while maintaining a certain juiciness, gives way to smooth tannins and a lingering finish with a note of bitter cocoa and a hint of light toasting, offering a complexity that invites further exploration and pairing with rich Tuscan dishes, well-spiced roasts, and aged cheeses. This 2018 Chianti Classico stands as the central figure in the Castell'in Villa range, embodying the company's commitment to offering an authentic interpretation of the territory that stands the test of time, allowing both immediate enjoyment and controlled aging potential. Within the STELT line, it stands out for its stylistic coherence, its discipline, and its ability to offer an essential yet profound experience, capable of speaking to those seeking a measured interpretation of Chianti Classico and a stable presence in the vintage calendar.
