Half bottle of Chianti Classico, Volpaia 2022
From a high-altitude vineyard in the heart of Classico country, this is fine and elegant with enchanting aromas of ripe red plum and cherry, leather, and dried spices. The palate shows a beautiful balance of fruit richness and finesse, with well-integrated, silky tannins and a juicy acidity. This finishes long and mineral.

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.
