Azienda Agricola Casale Chianti 2020
The Wine
Predominantly Sangiovese, sourced from vines aged 45 years and some even over a century, complemented by small amounts of Canaiolo and Colorino, representing some of the grape's purest expressions. The estate is dedicated to minimal intervention and extended aging to enhance the wine's textural tannins and fruit while preserving its freshness. This early release, crafted entirely in stainless steel, offers a unique chance to experience the unadulterated fruit. Antonio and his nephew Davide have opted out of using chestnut barrels or concrete in this process.
