Chianti Classico Riserva Poggio delle Rose

キャンティ・クラシコ・リゼルヴァ・ポッジョ・デッレ・ローゼ

Castell'in Villa

Sangiovese

About this wine

A single-vineyard Chianti Classico Riserva from the Poggio delle Rose cru, planted in 1990 with a clonal selection taken from Castell'in Villa's original vineyards; the first commercial release followed in 1996. Unlike the estate's other reds, which favor large traditional oak, Poggio delle Rose is aged in new French oak barriques for over 18 months, giving it a slightly more polished, structured profile while retaining the estate's hallmark tension and ageability.

Beginner's Note

The most approachable of the estate's top-tier reds, thanks to its rounder new-oak profile.

Sommelier's Note

"The one wine in the lineup where Castell'in Villa lets a touch of new oak speak — proof that even their most 'modern' bottling still tastes unmistakably of this terroir."

Food Pairings

The new-oak structure pairs well with grilled or roasted red meat, herb-crusted lamb, and rich mushroom-based dishes such as porcini risotto.

Terroir & Winemaking

Single-vineyard Sangiovese from the Poggio delle Rose site, planted in 1990 with clonal material selected from Castell'in Villa's historic vineyards. Aged in new French oak barriques for more than 18 months — a departure from the estate's usual large-cask regime, giving the wine a rounder tannic profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

A small amount was made in 1994, with the first full commercial release following in 1996, once the vines from the 1990 planting matured.
