Castello di Radda Chianti Gran Selezione Vigna il Corno 2019

Castello di Radda’s Vigna Il Corno 2019 is a Chianti Classico Gran Selezione made exclusively from Sangiovese, representing the estate’s most distinguished expression of its vineyard holdings. Originating from the celebrated hill country of Radda in Chianti, it combines the elegance and savoury character of the appellation with the depth and ageing potential expected from Tuscany’s highest Chianti Classico classification.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red with garnet reflections, this wine opens with aromas of ripe red cherry, wild berries and violet, complemented by hints of Mediterranean herbs, cedar and subtle spice. On the palate, it is structured yet refined, showing concentrated Sangiovese fruit, lively acidity and firm, polished tannins. Notes of sour cherry, plum, liquorice and earthy spice linger through a long, savoury finish. The 2019 vintage is already rewarding with decanting, but it should develop gracefully over the next 8–12 years when properly cellared.

Production
The wine comes from the hilly terroir around Radda in Chianti, where elevated vineyards, significant day-to-night temperature variation and the region’s stony, mineral-rich soils help preserve freshness while encouraging slow, even ripening. Produced from carefully selected Sangiovese grapes, Vigna Il Corno undergoes traditional red-wine vinification with controlled fermentation and extended maceration to extract colour, aroma and structure. Maturation in oak then allows the wine to soften and integrate while retaining the expressive character of the vineyard and vintage.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for Tuscan cuisine, this Gran Selezione pairs beautifully with bistecca alla Fiorentina, grilled or roasted red meat, wild boar ragù, game birds and mature pecorino. Serve at approximately 16–18°C after allowing the bottle to come gradually to temperature. Decant for 1–2 hours before serving, particularly in its youth, to open the wine’s aromas and help integrate its tannins.
