Chianti Classico Riserva, Castello di Volpaia 2020
Volpaia's Chianti Riserva is made from a blend of wines from its best vineyards, all organically cultivated, aged 24 months in barrel. 2020 was a warm vintage with great promise and the wines have an elegance over concentration that is very appealing. Perfumed cherry, leather and graphite notes lead to fine tannins and long finish.

Castello di Volpaia
The vineyards of Volpaia, located between 1,000 and 1,750 feet, are among the highest of the Chianti region. They have benefitted greatly from recent warmer vintages, but remain known for their freshness and elegance. Owner Giovanella Stianti used to sell to The Wine Society in the seventies and the older vintages kept beautifully. She is now joined by daughter Federica.
