Description

Frescobaldi Castiglioni Chianti

Thanks to the favorable soil and climate, Chianti Castiglioni reflects its lands’ characteristics as a soft, pleasantly fruity wine noted for its strong and well defined personality.

Vintage Report:

Following a particularly dry and mild winter, the growing season began a week earlier than the previous year. Spring began with a cool and wet climate that encouraged the accumulation of the water reserves necessary for the plants’ development. Temperatures began increasing in June when the vineyards flower, opening the way for a hot and dry season that lasted until the harvest – except for a few isolated showers in August that brought some much needed respite to the plants. The harvest season was particularly favourable for the extended period of time without rainfall, but especially for the exceptional temperature variation between night and day, which is ideal for the accumulation of polyphenols within the grapes.

Frescobaldi Castiglioni Chianti DOCG features a deep ruby red color with scarlet hues, typical of younger wines. The nose is intensely fruity, with notes of cherry, wild strawberry and blackberry alongside mediterranean floral and herbal scents. In the mouth the wine is sprightly but gives way to a pleasant softness and intense fruity aromas before closing with a persistent but delicate and clean finish.
