2021 Castellani TENUTA DI BURCHINO Chianti Superiore D.O.C.G.

From the historic hills of Tuscany, Castellani presents a refined and expressive interpretation of Sangiovese — 2021 Tenuta di Burchino Chianti Superiore D.O.C.G. Sourced from the family’s estate vineyards and crafted with a balance of tradition and precision, this Chianti Superiore offers greater depth, structure, and ageing potential than the classic style, while retaining the elegance and authenticity of true Tuscan winemaking.

Bright ruby red with garnet reflections, it opens with inviting aromas of ripe cherry, red plum, violet, and dried herbs, complemented by hints of spice, leather, and a touch of sweet tobacco from gentle ageing. The palate is medium to full-bodied and harmonious, delivering juicy red fruit, vibrant acidity, and silky yet well-structured tannins that lead to a long, savoury, and beautifully balanced finish.

Elegant and expressive, this Chianti Superiore is a perfect example of Tuscan sophistication — aromatic, structured, and effortlessly enjoyable.
