A landscape with the silence of the middle ages and a cellar with a thousand years of history nestled in a sea of woods, olive groves and dotted with villages, churches and castles.
Located on the highest hills in the heart of Chianti Classico, Premiata Fattoria di Castelvecchi, in Radda of Chianti, tells centuries of traditions and a present of persistent wine challenges. Here they cultivate an ancient passion, through eleven precious crus, where old restored vineyards grow into the mother land of Tuscany.
Chianti Classico 'Capotondo'
Sangiovese 88% and Canaiolo 12%, the soils are mainly composed of marl and limestone with a smaller percentage of boulder and sandstone.
Tasting Notes
Deep red color with pleasant violet tones. Good body, good acidity and freshness, with prevailing loreal notes, hints of red roses and violets. The aroma of red fruits prevails, with tendencies to ripe fruit such as berry berries, blueberry, cherry and plum, slightly spicy. A wine of great harmony, typical and balanced, with great character.
Pairings
A wine of ample drinkability, excellent throughout the meal and to accompany savoury dishes such as lasagne with mushrooms and sausage, baked red meats, cold cuts and medium-aged cheeses.
