1985 Chianti Classico Docg Sangiovese

The Castell'in Villa Chianti Classico Riserva from the esteemed 1985 vintage is a captivating expression of the Sangiovese varietal, showcasing the rich heritage of the Chianti Classico DOCG region.

The fruit intensity is prominent, offering delightful notes of ripe cherries and blackberries, accompanied by subtle hints of spice and earthiness that give depth to its character. The tannins are firm yet refined, providing a solid backbone that enhances the wine's longevity.
