Frescobaldi produces Castiglioni Chianti from Sangiovese with small amounts of Merlot. The 2024 technical sheet records maturation for six months in steel vats, followed by a further period in bottle. This stainless-steel maturation supports a fresh, fruit-forward expression rather than an oak-led style.
In the glass it shows a vibrant ruby-red colour. The aroma is fruit-led, bringing cherry, black raspberry and blackcurrant together with a floral lift. The palate is lively and fresh while remaining soft, with a defined but smooth tannic texture. The finish is supported by that smooth structure, giving the wine a satisfying close.
Serve it with savoury dishes such as pappardelle with meat sauce, roast chicken, veal or beef strips with vegetables, and medium-matured cheeses. Its fresh, fruity Chianti profile suits Italian dinners, casual entertaining and buyers looking for a dependable Tuscan red wine.
