Rocca di Castagnoli sits on land that was farmed as far back as 1730, nestled in the town of Castagnoli just south of Florence in the prized wine making region of Chianti. Made up of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Ciliegiolo, this Chianti undergoes skin maceration for 8-10 days, malolactic fermentation, is aged in oak for at least 4 months and sees an additional 3 months in bottle. On the nose: floral and red fruit notes such as cherries, raspberries, and currants and much of the same on the palate with an added touch of slight oak and light tannins. This is lovely with some pizza, lighter pasta dishes, chicken or fish. As the weather gets warmer (hopefully!), I would put this in the fridge for ~30 mins and pair it with charcuterie!
