Castello di Volpaia 2014 – Chianti Classico Riserva

The nose is aromatic. It reveals notes of ripe wild berries and ripe cassis combined with small notes of scrubland, ripe red cherries, thyme and gray pepper. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a nice minerality, roundness, fat, good freshness, a fine suavity as well as a beautiful acid frame and dynamic frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry, ripe /juicy black berries and ripe / juicy red berries associated with small notes of cherry, garrigue and discreet touches of olive, thyme, colas and to an imperceptible toasted touch. Tannins are a bit mellow. Good length. Chew on the finish.
