£9.27
The Frescobaldi Castiglioni Chianti DOCG 2024 exemplifies the traditional art of Tuscan viticulture, combined with modern elegance and accessible drinking pleasure. Produced by the renowned Frescobaldi winery, which can look back on over 700 years of winemaking experience, this Chianti DOCG comes from the heart of Tuscany – a region that is known worldwide for its high-quality, characterful red wines.
The 2024 vintage is particularly accessible and fruit-driven without losing any of its depth. The cuvée is classically based on Sangiovese, supplemented by small proportions of international varieties such as Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon, which give the wine additional fullness and roundness. The moderate alcohol content of 12.5% vol. ensures balance, lightness and an uncomplicated drinking flow – ideal for everyday enjoyment as well as an accompaniment to a variety of dishes.
With its combination of freshness, fruit and a light spiciness, Castiglioni Chianti offers a modern expression of the Tuscan classic and impresses with its attractive price-pleasure ratio.
Tasting NoteIn the glass, the wine is a clear, medium-dense ruby red colour with purple reflections. The bouquet reveals lively aromas of red cherries, raspberries and redcurrants, underpinned by fine herbal and spicy notes such as thyme, black pepper and a hint of violets. On the palate, the Chianti is dry, medium-bodied and pleasantly soft, with fresh acidity, gentle tannins and a harmonious, fruit-accentuated finish reminiscent of ripe forest fruits and Mediterranean herbs.
The Frescobaldi Castiglioni Chianti 2024 is a wonderful accompaniment to classic Italian cuisine such as pasta with tomato sauce, grilled vegetables, pizza, risotto with mushrooms or poultry dishes. It also cuts an excellent figure with medium-strong cheeses and charcuterie platters. Serve at 16-18 °C for an accessible, authentic Chianti experience with Tuscan flair.
