Note di degustazione
The 2015 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Casanova Il Puro shows a dense and rich quality of fruit that is indicative of this sunny and warm vintage. It is the best wine I've tasted in this series of samples from Castello di Volpaia. The wine's texture is thick and plush, and there's plenty of dark plummy fruit to maintain momentum. Oak spice, tar and campfire ash appear on the long and enriched finish. Pair it with a braised shank of lamb. This is a pure expression of Sangiovese and only 2,000 bottles were made.

The 2015 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Casanova Il Puro is deep and powerful in the glass. Sadly, new oak and heavy torrefaction notes overpower the fruit. This could have been-and should have been-a far more interesting wine.
A firm and silky red with blackberry and blueberry aromas and flavors, as well as spices. Hints of vanilla. Medium to full body. Walnut and light chocolate undertones. From organically grown grapes. Drink now, but better after 2021.
Radda in Chianti. 100% Sangiovese. Mid to deep ruby. Firm nose of red fruit with a little oak. Lots of ripe fruit and completely integrated acidity that is at a dangerously low level compared with the very concentrated fruit. (WS)
