2004 Chianti Classico Riserva, Castello di Volpaia

Volpaia is the touchstone by which all other Tuscan wines are judged. There's a refinement and simplicity about their Chianti which owes much to the altitude of this ancient estate and the talented personalities involved: Giovanella Stanti, husband Carlo Mascheroni and eminent consultant oenologist Maurizio Castelli. This fine Riserva is elegant and understated but with great persistence of rich red cherry and chestnut flavours. Save for fillet steaks.
