Note di degustazione
The certified organic Volpaia 2020 Chianti Classico is a terrific base wine that offers clean fruit flavors and an easy-drinking style. Value is one of the key identifying factors in this appellation, yet this fact often goes overlooked. Sangiovese (blended here with 10% Merlot) offers versatile wines with plenty of sweet cherry, spice and blueberry preserves. This is an ambitious production of 120,000 bottles.

Pure and beautifully integrated, the 2020 Chianti Classico is finessed with raspberry coulis, licorice candy, and crushed violets. It has a silky mouthfeel within a medium to slightly fuller body, with perfectly ripe black cherry, and its floral perfume lasts on the finish. This is a wonderful and polished expression hailing from the village of Radda. Drink 2023-2033. Located just to the north of Radda, Volpaia is a walled village dating back to the 12th century. The estate owns 46 hectares of vines, at elevations between 450 and 600 meters above sea level. As a founding member of the Chianti League (Lega del Chianti) in 1250, they have been associated and included in the territory of Radda. The ownership and operations are run today by Carlo Mascheroni and Giovannella Stianti Mascheroni along with their children, Nicolo and Federica. Lorenzo Regoli has held the position as winemaker and vineyard manager since 2000, having previously worked at Livia Felluga in Friuli in the northeast.
The 2020 Chianti Classico is bright, elegant and wonderfully translucent, with lovely red fruit character and all the elegance of Radda coming through nicely. Mint, blood orange, pipe tobacco and spice linger on the brilliant, delineated finish.
Radda in Chianti. 90% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot. Certified organic. Mid crimson. Cranberry and cherry nose. Lively, lifted sour-cherry palate with cracking tannins. Long, succulent and fresh. (WS)
