Description
Chianti Classico Riserva Casaloste is a bold and elegant red wine made mainly from Sangiovese grapes, with a small portion of other local red varieties. It undergoes a carefully controlled fermentation process, followed by at least 18 months of ageing in oak barriques. This time in wood deepens the wine’s character and brings smooth structure. In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-red colour that hints at its intensity.
On the nose, the wine opens with ripe cherry, plum, and a gentle mix of spice and toasted oak. These aromas are rich but balanced, showing both fruit and finesse. The palate is velvety, with well-integrated tannins and bright acidity. These elements come together in perfect harmony. The finish is long, smooth, and filled with subtle spice. While ready to drink, it becomes even more refined after five years in bottle. With only 7,000 bottles made each year, this is a rare and rewarding choice for true wine lovers.
