Castello di Volpaia: excellence of Chianti Classico
The collection Castello di Volpaia gathers some of the most representative wines from one of the most prestigious realities of Chianti Classico. We are in the village of Volpaia, in a hilly area with a high viticultural vocation where the vineyards, located over 400 meters above sea level, give rise to labels of great finesse, balance, and capacity for evolution.
The philosophy of the winery combines history, agricultural tradition, and the pursuit of the maximum expressiveness of Sangiovese. The wines selected on this page tell the story of a unique territory, characterized by sandy soils rich in skeleton and an ideal microclimate for obtaining elegant, harmonious, and deep reds, with clear fruity aromas and a well-defined tannic structure.
A distinctive terroir for long-lived and refined reds
The Volpaia area is considered one of the most interesting corners of the “Alto Chianti.” Here, Sangiovese finds one of its most authoritative expressions, thanks to well-exposed vineyards, significant altitude, and a clonal selection that has favored the rediscovery of ancient indigenous vines. The result is a range of wines recognizable for aromatic elegance, verticality, and the ability to maintain the character of the fruit over time.
In this selection, you will find labels such as Chianti Classico DOCG 2020 Castello di Volpaia, Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG Il Puro, Coltassala Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG, Coltassala Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Riserva 2019, Balifico IGT Toscana, and Il Puro 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello di Volpaia Wooden Box, different but coherent expressions of a production vision centered on quality.
