Castello di Volpaia Chianti Classico Riserva 2021
95 Points, Wine Spectator – 94 Points, Vinous – 94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
“The 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva is entirely Sangiovese from Radda and was raised for two years in oak casks. It opens to a polished yet pure profile with aromas of lavender, grenadine, sweet sage, and fresh leather. It offers fantastic tension and energy on the palate, with coiled acidity, compact tannins, and a supple ripeness of fruit to round it out beautifully, with a salty finish. I would be thrilled to have this gorgeous wine stashed in my cellar to check back on over the coming 10-15 years.”

95 Points, Wine Spectator
This expressive red features cherry, blackberry, pomegranate and orange peel aromas and flavors. Mineral and wild herb accents add depth as this cruises to the long finish, offering terrific balance and length. Though impressive now, this should evolve nicely. Best from 2006 through 2042.

The most exciting Chianti Riserva I taste every year is, without a doubt, the masterpiece that comes from Castello di Volpaia. Their track record is unparalleled.
Between making the #1 rated Chianti Classico Riserva in Wine Spectator’s history (even outpointing Castello di Ama’s $400/bottling), their multiple Top 100 appearances or their slew of big scores across the board for their wines, it’s a non-stop winemaking clinic over there.
Nicholas Wines readers simply cannot get enough of the tremendous Tuscan estate and everything they make. Who can blame them? But what NW readers probably don’t know is that the winery feels the same way about you!!!
Every year, no one in New Jersey or in almost any state in America sells as much Volpaia as we do. And while you may think this kind of thing goes unnoticed, if you saw the ‘Special Price’ we were given for the super highly rated 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva, you would change your tune!
Roasted Leg of lamb or Grandma’s Sunday sauce are both a perfect match.
