Founded in 1974 by Giuseppe Castiglioni, and now managed and owned by Sebastiano Cossia Castiglionii. Ruby with aromas of fresh berry fruits and slight spicy notes. On the palate Cherry and Cranberry flavors, some cacao, well balanced with acidity and fine tannins. The finish is long ending with earthy minerality. Good now and can age for a few years. Tasting Sample.

Passable Chianti, a good value at $20. Nothing special in this 100% Sangiovese version when first tasted. Overrated by Decanter, this wine is Fine but boring and unexceptional. Okay berry nose , dull palette when first opened. Tried on next day, and the wine opened up more. Nose showed more fruit, and the palette was less restrained. Apparently it needs to be decanted for a long time.

Very enjoyable, maybe the best chianti classico i've had. Might be something to do with the vintage...
