Thanks to its outstanding local climate, Chianti Castiglioni mirrors perfectly the qualities of its local growing area. Smooth-textured and eminently fruity, it displays a fine clean-edged structure.
Vintage Report
Despite an atypically very rainy summer, thanks to the dedication and knowledge of our agronomists, the grapes at harvest were healthy, mature and full of aromas and anthocyanins. The two defining periods were the first phase of optimal fruit set and a long autumn with sunny, warm days and cool nights that enriched the aromas of this vintage.
