Castell in Villa Santacroce 1988 - 0,75l

Castell in Villa Santacroce 1988 is a distinguished Tuscan red that captures the elegance and depth of mature Sangiovese. After decades of bottle aging, it offers a rare glimpse into the refined, traditional side of Tuscany and stands out for its balance, complexity, and class.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows the graceful development expected from a well-aged wine, with layered aromas and a polished profile. The nose opens with ripe red and dark fruit, warm spice, subtle oak, and a delicate hint of vanilla and cocoa, while the palate is full-bodied and complex, supported by balanced acidity and fine tannins. The finish is long, elegant, and nuanced, with lingering notes of fruit, spice, and a touch of chocolate. While already at an expressive stage, it still has the structure to hold for a few more years under ideal cellar conditions, continuing to evolve in finesse rather than intensity.

Production
Made in Tuscany from Sangiovese, Castell in Villa Santacroce 1988 reflects a classic regional style shaped by the area’s sun-drenched hills and well-drained soils. The grapes were traditionally harvested and vinified to preserve structure and aroma, then the wine was matured in bottle over many years, allowing it to develop complexity, softness, and tertiary character.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with robust dishes such as grilled or braised beef, venison, and other game preparations, as well as mature hard cheeses. Serve it at 16–18°C, and if the bottle has been stored for a long time, a gentle decant of 30–60 minutes can help bring out its aromatics.
