Castello di Radda | Tuscany
Az. Agr. Castello di Radda | Loc. Il Becco 101/A | 53017 Radda

The grapes come from the vineyard "Il Corno" of approx. 400m altitude with ideal southern exposure. Bright, sparkling ruby red. Well structured nose of blackberries, cassis, some cedar and shoe polish. Medium ripe, quite fresh fruit on the palate, yet supple and well balanced with all the volume. In the rest of the drink with great finesse, coolness and liveliness, the finish is long with well-integrated wood, red fruitiness, with a slightly salty vein and lots of spice. A harmonious and well-proportioned top wine of the house, which may rightly bear the highest quality level Gran Selezione. SUPERIORE.DE

"A selection of the best grapes from the single vineyard "Il COrno", which lies at 400 metres with a southern exposure. Powerful on the nose with cherry fruit and spicy notes, multi-layered on the palate with full body. The tannins are wonderfully integrated, fresh and accessible with complex notes. Great potential for further ageing." Vinum

"Lustrous concentrated ruby with orange tinges. Lifted, focused and concentrated pure cherry fruit framed by new oak, but skilfully done, and with hints of gingerbread. Bags of tangy cherry fruit and coating tannins on the finish. Hedonistic, sumptuous yet succulent and fresh." Jancis Robinson

"The 2015 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna il Corno hails from a warm and sunny vintage, so you can expect ripe cherry and blackberry with spicy tones of leather and lightly cured tobacco. Those cherry notes transfer to the palate where the wine makes a soft and silky impact, all tied up with a hint of fresh acidity. This would be a good match to a well-marbled steak." Robert Parker

"Aromas of cherries and concrete follow through to a medium to full body, round, velvety tannins and a dusty finish with fruit and spices." James Suckling

"Wonderfully concentrated red plums, cherries and damsons, complemented by shakes of spice and coffee, framed by fine-grained tannins before a long, savoury finish. A glossy, hugely impressive wine." Decanter
