Castell in Villa, Chianti Classico 2018
CRITIC REVIEWS
Michaela Morris
Princess Coralia Pignatelli della Leonessa has presided over Castell’in Villa with a resolute hand since 1971 and shows no sign of wavering. She likes body and power in her wines, which she felt the 2018 vintage didn’t possess. As such, she declined making a Riserva in order to release this solid annata. Its delicate and fragrant - but persistently so. Orange, iron and wild rose scents are arresting. Deceptively slim in build yet with depth, the tannins are steely and the acidity is piercing. The latter will carry the wine and it may age longer than anticipated. No excess baggage here.
