Castagnoli Chianti Classico 2021 – James Suckling 91 Points | Tuscany Red Wine

Discover the rich flavors of Castagnoli’s Chianti Classico DOCG 2021, a refined expression of Tuscany’s terroir crafted from 100% Sangiovese grapes grown in Chianti’s iconic rolling hills. This estate-grown wine captures the essence of Italy’s wine heritage with its elegant balance of bright red fruit complexity and mineral-driven depth, earning a stellar 91-point rating from James Suckling for its crushed cherry tomato vibrancy, thyme-tinged acidity, and firm yet polished tannins that linger with a touch of flinty minerality.

Nestled atop a hill in Tuscany’s Chianti heartland between Florence and Siena, Castagnoli’s terraced vineyards thrive on galestro—a rare decomposed shale soil—that imparts a distinctive mineral intensity to every sip. This organic estate’s commitment to sustainable winemaking preserves the purity of its grapes, resulting in a wine that feels as much a part of Tuscany’s landscape as the olive groves and cypress trees that surround it.

Perfect for pairing with earthy Tuscan dishes like bistecca alla fiorentina or mushroom risotto, this Chianti Classico DOCG offers exceptional versatility at 14.5% alcohol—rich enough for hearty meals yet crisp enough to enjoy on its own. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or exploring Italian wine culture at home, this bottle serves as an effortlessly elegant introduction to Chianti Classico’s timeless allure.
