Castello di Verrazzano Chianti Classico 2017
Greve, Florence, Tuscany, ItalyThe Castle of Verrazzano is on top of a hill in Chianti Classico, looking out over the Greve Valley. The castle was an Etruscan, then a Roman settlement, before becoming the property of the Verrazzano family in the 7th century. This organic sangiovese is tipped with 5% other local grapes off their limestone laced hillside estate. It rested in 33 hl French barrels for 18 months, followed by 4 months in bottle prior to release. Savoury black cherry, black raspberry is laced with forest floor, walnut shells, subtle purple florals, and suede. Tannins are ample and grippy, propping this to the salty, bitter edged finish.Tasted: 28 February 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $35.95 | 750ml | select private retailers |
