Made only from native varieties, Sangioveto and Canaiolo, it opens with red cherry, redcurrant, violet, rose, liquorice, cinnamon, cedar and a subtle mineral note. It feels polished rather than glossy, with the estate’s usual clarity and quiet confidence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the palate, it is fresh, elegant and finely structured, with vivid red fruit carried by bright acidity and velvety velvety tannins. The 2023 vintage gives a precise, drinkable style, but there is enough depth, oak seasoning and savoury length to make this feel properly Riserva. It is Chianti Classico in the best sense: fragrant, balanced, food-loving and unmistakably Tuscan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor when\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA proper Tuscan dinner needs a bottle with charm, structure and a little gravitas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs with\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBistecca alla Fiorentina, roast lamb, wild boar ragù, rabbit, roast chicken, grilled sausages, mushroom pasta, pecorino or medium-aged cheeses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCastellare di Castellina is one of the great names of Chianti Classico, founded by Paolo Panerai in the 1970s during the modern renaissance of Italian wine. The estate has always championed native Tuscan varieties rather than international fashion, and this Riserva captures that philosophy beautifully. No Cabernet, no Merlot, just Sangioveto, Canaiolo, limestone, altitude and the elegant discipline of a benchmark Castellina estate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55819303616897,"sku":null,"price":37.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2023ChiantiClassicoRiserva_CastellarediCastellina.png?v=1781875173","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2023-chianti-classico-riserva-castellare-di-castellina","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
