Castellare Di Castellina CHIANTI CLASSICO 2022 375ml HALF BOTTLE

92 points Vinous | The 2021 Chianti Classico is gorgeous. Bright and punchy, the 2021 races across the palate with lively red-toned fruit, dried flowers, minerals and cedar. Vibrant acids lend energy to a Chianti Classico that marries fruit intensity with energy. This is such an inviting wine. 

92 Points Wine Spectator | An intense red, with saturated black cherry and blackberry fruit framed by menthol and tar aromas and flavors. Firmly structured and balanced, in its youthful way, with excellent length. A little aeration helps, so decant now. Sangioveto and Canaiolo. Drink now through 2030. (2021). 

91 Points Decanter | Flaunting the warmth of the vintage and the generous southwestern exposure of Castellare’s vineyards, this is dripping with ripe black cherry and heady violet. A short passage in used barriques and tonneaux lends subtle vanilla nuances. Richness is countered by zesty, citrussy acidity and fine, powdery tannins. An engaging and silky Chianti Classico that will give plenty of pleasure over the next five years.
