A rare vertical collection spanning three distinctive vintages from one of Chianti's most historic estates. Dating back to 1176, Castell'in Villa maintains its medieval structures and commanding position overlooking the Chianti Senese, where Sienese built the original tower to watch Florence, their eternal rival.
Vintage Assessment:
- 1995: Deep, well-structured, made for the long haul
- 1994: Light and elegant, perfect for current consumption
- 1993: Bold, forward-fruit styles, favored for drinking now
Purchased by Riccardo and Coralia Pignatelli della Leonessa in 1968, this 300-hectare estate underwent careful restoration while preserving its medieval charm. The Chianti Classico Riserva represents 100% Sangiovese from their finest vineyards, aged in oak for 2-3 years.
These concentrated wines showcase the estate's signature style with elegant fragrance, complex flavors of ripe fruit and black cherries, and deep earthy, spicy tones. This vertical offers a fascinating study of how three consecutive mid-90s vintages express the same terroir through different seasonal conditions.
