Description

1982 Chianti – La Castellina (Tuscany, Italy)

A fully mature, classical Chianti favouring perfume and savoury finesse. Brick-garnet with a tawny rim, it opens on dried cherry and amarena, rose petal, cedar and sweet tobacco, with hints of orange peel, tea leaf and a gentle balsamic/underbrush note. Mid-weight and silken on the palate: lively, old-school acidity carries savoury red-cherry fruit, dried herbs and subtle leather; tannins are fine and resolved. The finish is long and tapering with cherry skin, cedar spice and dried flowers.

Producer note: From the hills around Castellina in Chianti Classico, La Castellina is associated with traditional Sangiovese raised in older wood—elegance, aromatic lift and a food-table profile that ages into poise and nuance.

Serve: 16–18 °C. Stand upright 12–24 hours; very gentle decant for sediment just before pouring.
Food pairing: Roast chicken with herbs, pappardelle al ragù, porcini risotto, pecorino stagionato.
