The 2018 Chianti Classico is a gorgeous, mid-weight wine that captures the essence of the estate’s high-altitude vineyards. Freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries, licorice, mint, pine and cedar are some of the many aromas and flavors that are woven throughout. The 2018 is gracious, inviting and impeccable in its balance.

Sangiovese (with ten percent merlot) from Volpaia’s vineyards in the high hills of Radda gave a juicy and energetic wine in 2018, its ample acidity freshening the bright cherry flavors. The wine fleshes out with exposure to air, gaining hints of orange zest and subtle spices. RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 11th Mar 2021
This is a delightfully open and accessible value red that could pair with a simple chicken dinner. From an organic farm, the Volpaia 2018 Chianti Classico is a smooth, silky and fruit-driven expression that delivers on the basic promises of elegance and freshness that are associated specifically with Sangiovese from Radda in Chianti.
