Reviewed March 2025There is incredible subtle complexity in this Chianti Classico. The nose shows licorice, bergamot, potpourri, violets and red cherries. The palate is graceful, with vibrant blood orange flavors, refreshing acidity and velvety, fine-grained tannins. Drink now or hold. (JS)

Vinous
The 2020 Chianti Classico is a gorgeous wine from Castell'in Villa. Soft contours are the first sign of a rare young Chianti Classico from this estate that will drink well with minimal cellaring. Dark wild cherry, cedar and pipe tobacco open first. The 2020 offers gorgeous dark Sangiovese fruit along with all of the structure that is so typical of the wines here. Plum, graphite, leather, incense and dried herbs shape the striking finish. What an absolute delight!

Notes
Castell'in Villa is based in Castelnuovo Berardenga, at the southern end of Tuscany's Chianti Classico zone. Its 2020 Chianti Classico showcases Sangiovese, the denomination's principal grape, within the historic winegrowing territory between Florence and Siena. Chianti Classico is an appellation in its own right, distinct from the broader Chianti designation.
