Tasted January 2013

A “young Brunello” produced from vineyards at 200 to 450 m asl with poor marl soil close to Castelnuovo dell’Abate. Fermentation by indigenous yeasts, long maceration, ageing 24 months in oak and 6 months in bottle.
100% Sangiovese.
Brilliant ruby red.
Intense and clean aromas. Excellent correspondence of taste to nose, outstanding freshness but also elegance and persistence. 
Goes well with roasted game and aged cheese. — 9 years ago

Smells just like the hills and cellar in Castelnuovo Berardenga. — 9 years ago

Aromatic, but a little too much oak and alcohol coming through. Fresh and racy, coming out of Castelnuovo del Abate, one of the hotter subzones of Montalcino climate wise. All the way down at the bottom of southern Montalcino. South facing slopes and lots of sun. Maybe too much. — 9 years ago

Castell'in Villa's 2015 Chianti Classico is a gorgeous wine that will delight readers who enjoy the Chianti Classicos of this reference-point estate in Castelnuovo Berardenga. Crushed flowers, mint, licorice, dried herbs, cedar and tobacco give the 2015 lovely aromatic complexity. The 2015 is perhaps a bit more open than young wines tend to be here, but then again, 2015 is a warm vintage that generally yielded accessible Chianti Classicos. All that means is that the 2015 can be enjoyed with less cellaring than is the norm here. As it so often is, the Castell'in Villa Chianti Classico is a wine of real pedigree and distinction.

9.1

Yet another Italian producer of natural wine knocking it out of the park. A polite kind of funk, smoke, resinous, dried apricots, loaminess, with a floral tinged finish that lingers pleasantly — 8 years ago
