Castiglioni Chianti seduce per le sue note di frutti di bosco e fiori freschi e per l’immediata piacevolezza. Elegante, morbido ed equilibrato e ideale con le carni rosse e bianche e formaggi poco stagionati.
Castiglioni Chianti entices with notes of wild berries and fresh flowers, and is immediately rewarding. Elegant, smooth, it is ideal for both red and white meat dishes as well as for medium-aged cheeses.

Who doesn’t love a good Chianti? Perfect with all kinds of food and distinctively Italian, it’s one of our favorite wines. Today we’ve got a great example.
The 2017 Marchesi de Frescobaldi Castiglioni Chianti opens with a very pleasing mix of inviting aromas like red cherry, black cherry, mint, apple, violets and cedar. Tasting reveals one smooth Chianti with a lot of the rough edges you often find smoothed off nicely. Sweet and tart red cherry and berry flavors intermingle pleasantly with spice, dried herbs and touches of apple in this medium-bodied wine. Some licorice and cola notes lead into the long, dry finish. This is a really easy to drink Chianti that you can’t help but love!
