Castell'in Villa's Chianti Classico is estate grown in Castelnuovo Berardenga, as is 100% Sangiovese. The wine is fermented in stainless steel using indigenous yeasts and is kept in contact with the skins for a little less than two weeks. The wine is aged in large oval barrels for two years before bottling. 

The resulting wine is the best kind of classic Chianti, with the classic aromas of sour cherry, fine leather, sandalwood, and cedar, fresh acidity, attractive fine tannins, and a long, complex palate impression.

This style of Chianti Classico is a very useful wine at table; medium-weight, savory, and based on fresh acidity rather than tannins. Drink it with pizza, roast chicken, pork, and red meats.
