Castello di Radda Chianti Classico Riserva 2022

Castello di Radda Chianti Classico Riserva 2022 is an elegant organic red wine from the heart of Tuscany, made predominantly from Sangiovese. Originating in Radda in Chianti, one of the region’s most highly regarded areas, it combines the classical freshness and structure of Chianti Classico with the added depth and refinement expected of a Riserva.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a bright ruby-red colour with garnet hues. On the nose, it reveals expressive aromas of wild berries, delicate spices and vanilla, complemented by a subtle mineral character from the estate’s limestone-rich soils. On the palate, it is balanced and refined, with vibrant freshness, well-integrated tannins and a layered fruit profile. Oak ageing contributes gentle notes of spice and vanilla without overshadowing the Sangiovese’s character, while the finish is savoury, persistent and elegant. Its structure and freshness give it excellent potential for further development in bottle.

Production
The vineyards are located in Radda in Chianti, with south-eastern to south-western exposures that encourage even ripening and aromatic concentration. The vines grow in medium-textured clay-limestone soils rich in stones, lending the wine a distinct mineral identity and fine structure. After fermentation in stainless-steel tanks, the grapes undergo several weeks of skin maceration to extract colour, flavour and tannins. Malolactic fermentation takes place partly in wood, followed by approximately 20 months of maturation in oak barrels and extended bottle ageing to harmonise the wine.

Food & Serving
This Chianti Classico Riserva is well suited to roasted pork, grilled or braised red meats, game and hearty Tuscan dishes such as wild boar ragù. It also pairs beautifully with mature hard cheeses. Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended when serving the wine young, both to open its aromas and to soften its structured tannins.
