- 2015 Castell'in Villa Chianti Classico - Italy, Tuscany, Chianti, Chianti Classico DOCG (1/30/2026)
Pretty is not a word I use often with Sangiovese, but this was a very pretty bottle of wine. All the typical Chianti aromatic and flavor notes apply, but what struck me was the elegant texture. It still had grip, but was never drying. Chianti is 100% a food wine for me, but this was just as engaging on its own after dinner.

Great house—we had a lovely visit 2 years ago. They carry a huge cellar of older vintages for sale.

My fav Chianti, just finished by last two ‘13s just because one was sadly corked so I felt compelled to pop the last. Love the complexity and balance of these wines and need to drink more of them.
I’ve mostly concentrated on Rosso di Montalcino the last two or three years.
