    Two names characterise this Riserva: Il Corno and Poggio Selvale. The Sangiovese grapes from which Castello di Radda creates its classic Riserva style come from these two top vineyards, situated between 350 and 450 metres above sea level. The clayey-calcareous soils with their high proportion of Galestro and Alberese – the characteristic limestone slate of the region – give the wine mineral depth and structural complexity. In this coolest zone of the Chianti Classico, where dense forests surround the vineyards and the temperature fluctuations between day and night are particularly pronounced, the Sangiovese reveals its most elegant side. After manual harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and fermented in 50-hectolitre stainless steel tanks. Maceration on the skins lasts three to four weeks – a luxury that only fully ripe grapes from top vineyards allow. Malolactic fermentation takes place in wood before the wine begins its 20-month maturation: in French second and third passage tonneaux and in 20-hectolitre Slavonian oak barrels. A nine-month bottle maturation completes the development.

    Transparent ruby red with soft garnet-red nuances. Intense forest notes on the nose – undergrowth, moss and damp earth – accompanied by spices, vanilla and a hint of smoke. This is accompanied by ripe plums, sour cherries and balsamic accents. On the palate, the wine is long and balanced, with a lively, almost mineral acidity structure that lends precision to the full body. The fine-grained tannins are perfectly integrated and the final is savoury, juicy and remarkably persistent. A Riserva that epitomises Radda in all its depth and elegance – complex, multi-faceted and with great ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

    "Bright garnet red with slightly brightening edges. Prune, dried dates and overripe cherry on the nose, with cedar wood, slightly spicy cloves and a hint of leather. Very velvety on the palate, with fine tannins. Powerful on the palate with good tension, fruity and persistent on the finish." Falstaff
