Tenuta Castiglioni Description

RNDC

Chianti DOCG
Thanks to favorable soil and climate conditions, Chianti Castiglioni reflects the characteristics of the territory it represents
and is a smooth, pleasantly fruity wine with a strong, well-delineated character.
Climatic trend
In Castiglioni, the climatic trend of this vintage was characterized-at the end of May-by a rather early flowering in the
vineyards: in fact, temperatures typical of the summer months were recorded during this period. Not surprisingly,
summer 2022 will be remembered as one of the longest in recent years. In the first part of the summer period, the plants
saw an acceleration of the shoot growth and fruit set phase of the inflorescences, thus providing excellent homogeneity in
the vineyards. In July, however, the vines adapted to the outdoor environment, slowing their initial momentum to protect
themselves from the summer heat. The providential rain in mid-August finally resulted in healthy and balanced grapes.

Tasting notes
Chianti Castiglioni 2022 shows a beautiful vibrant ruby red color to the eye. On olfactory analysis it is pleasantly fruity,
with notes of ripe small berries, including red currant, raspberry, sour cherry and wild strawberry. The burst of fruit is
followed by floral scents and spicy hints of clove. In the mouth it is fresh and soft with a pleasant tannic texture, well
present but never excessive. The finish, long and clean, is also dominated by its fruit character.
Wine pairing: Savory dishes such as pappardelle with meat sauce, as well as roast chicken, beef strips with vegetables, and
medium-aged cheeses.
