      Reviews:

      • Wine Advocate: Here's a wine I highly recommend. Packaged with a black label, the Volpaia 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva is certified organic Sangiovese from a site with sandstone soils that rises up to a cool 600 meters above sea level in Radda in Chianti. These well-priced results are perfumed and vibrant with black fruit, crushed stone and wild rose. I especially appreciate those drying mineral tones that match the wine's elegant, mid-weight mouthfeel. Best After 2022
      • James Suckling: Aromas of sweet berries, crushed stones and violets follow through beautifully to a medium-bodied with fine, integrated tannins and a pretty finish. Crisp and crunchy with structure.

      Producer Information

      Fattoria Castello di Volpaia is a wine estate in the village of Volpaia in Chianti Classico. It is particularly known for its red wines featuring the Sangiovese grape variety. The Castello began life in the 11th Century as part of a fortified village on the border between the territories of Florence and Siena. The production of wine here was first documented in 1172. Raffaello Stianti, a leading Italian printer and bookbinder, purchased the Volpaia estate and two-thirds of the village in 1966. In 1972, he gave it to his daughter and her husband as a wedding gift, and Volpaia remains in the ownership of the Mascheroni-Stianti family. The organically-farmed estate extends to 370 hectares (914 acres), of which 46 hectares (114 acres) are planted with vines. Grapes are picked by hand into small boxes to ensure minimal damage before reaching the winery. The winery facilities are built within the village's structures – there are fermentation tanks in abandoned church buildings. Stainless steel pipes known as the "wineduct" connect these buildings at the top of the village with several barrel cellars at the bottom. The red grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with automated punchdowns. Once fermented, the grapes are left for further maceration. Castello di Volpaia's wines are aged in either large Slovenian oak casks or (often new) 225-liter French oak barriques, depending on the cuvée. The portfolio is headed by the single-vineyard Chianti Classico wines, Coltassa and Il Puro; and Balifico, a Toscana IGT wine made from Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. A pair of multi-vineyard Chianti Classico wines make up the majority of production, and Castello di Volpaia also makes a Chardonnay – Sauvignon Blanc blend, a metodo classic sparkling wine, a Vin Santo del Chianti Classico, and a grappa. On top of the wines made under the Castello di Volpaia label, the estate also makes wines under the Prelius label in Maremma Toscana, and a sparkling wine from the island of Pantelleria, released under the Nikà label.
