Castello di Radda 2011

The Chianti Classico D.O.C.G. Gran Selezione is the result of the best Sangiovese grapes, coming from a single vineyard located in the area called "Il Corno", about 400 meters above sea level, with a southern exposure. The soil is clayey-calcareous and rich in skeleton. The age of the vine is 25 years. The particular attention in the various stages of processing of the vineyard and the low production yield favor a perfect ripening of the bunch, thus contributing to enhance the quality and depth of our wine.

Ruby red color to the eye, with clear garnet reflections in the glass. The nose perceives an intense and complex bouquet, where the notes of red berried fruits are followed by references to undergrowth, tobacco, licorice and cloves. The palate is well structured, balanced and enveloping, supported by a strong tannic texture and excellent persistence.
