2015 Castello di Volpaia Chianti Classico Riserva
Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 7, 2020 - I can see why reviews are all over the board on this one. A beastly Sangiovese! Old world for sure with ample saddle leather and compost. More of a steak wine not a drink alone. You gotta be into to this stuff to like it.
