Castello di Volpaia Chianti Classico DOCG The vineyards of Volpaia, located between 300 and 500 metres of elevation, are the highest in the Chianti region. This is one of the reasons why our Chianti Classico is renown for its elegance and freshness with a rich bouquet of red fruits and spices. The grapes are harvested by hand and collected in boxes holding less than 20Kgs of fruit. In the winery, they are destemmed and lightly pressed before fermentation commences use their own yeasts for two weeks. After this, the wines macerate for a further ten days on their own skins to give structure, complexity and colour to the wines prior to malolactic fermentation to knock the edges off. Ageing takes place in oak barrels for 14 months.

The wine has a bright crimson colour. On the nose, it exudes black cherries, lightly spiced plums and a tinge of leather that will wrap around your senses and tempt you to take a sip. The palate will feel soft and fleshy, and comes loaded with wild raspberries, cherries, dark chocolate and earthy undertones. This wine tastes great with rustic homemade Pappardelle Ragu.

Crisp and fresh acidity are the hallmarks of this Fighting Gully Road Rose that is made from Sangiovese grapes. It is barrel fermented and aged on lees, making this wine with a deliciously savoury dry finish.
