2007 Chianti Classico
"Volpaia is a great source for elegant, fragrant Chiantis made in a mid-weight style. The 2007 Chianti Classico is a pretty, well-balanced wine. In this vintage the wine has a level of richness that is sometimes missing. Clean, mineral notes provide a lovely counterpoint to the ripe, floral fruit." |

Castello di Volpaia overlooks the village of Radda in Chianti. The town was built in the 11th century as a fortified village on the Florence/Siena border. Although only part of the original protective walls and two of its six towers are still standing, the medieval layout and buildings within the village are still intact, making Volpaia one of the best preserved villages of its period. Just as it has been for the last 900 years, the entire village is intimately involved in the production of wine and olive oil. The cellars, bottling plant, barrels and olive press are nestled within the original stone walls that have been carefully restored by owners Carlo Mascheroni and Giovannella Stianti Mascheroni and their children, Nicoló and Federica.
