Tasting Notes: The Podere Castellinuzza Chianti Classico Riserva offers an elegant expression of high-altitude Sangiovese, showcasing a bright ruby hue and complex aromas of wild berries, violets, and subtle Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, this organic Riserva presents a fresh, vibrant acidity and firm tannins that provide structure and longevity, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish. Its unique aging process in concrete vats, rather than wood, allows the pure, authentic character of the grape and the specific terroir of Lamole to shine through, resulting in a balanced and refined Tuscan red.
Estate History: The history of Podere Castellinuzza is deeply rooted in the traditional viticulture of the Chianti Classico region, specifically in the picturesque village of Lamole, an area renowned for its high-altitude vineyards situated among chestnut trees. This small, family-run estate has been dedicated to preserving traditional farming methods and producing authentic wines with minimal intervention for generations. Emphasizing organic practices and a deep respect for the natural environment, the winery is committed to highlighting the unique characteristics of the Sangiovese grape in this cooler, elevated microclimate, distinguishing itself by its use of concrete for aging to maintain the wine's purity and freshness.
