Istine 'VIGNA Casanova DELL'AIA' Chianti Classico
| Vintage: | 2021 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Organically Farmed. 100% Sangiovese. Istine's bottlings reflect one of Radda's most classic styles: paler in hue, mid-bodied, with relatively fresher fruit profiles, juicy or "mineral" acidity, and a slender tannic structure. The Casanova dell'Aia vineyard's southwestern aspect, facing the warmer afternoon sun, along with clayey marl soils tend to create a more austere but darker-fruited, slightly fleshier and more generously-structured version of that profile. Kerin O'keefe 96 Points - "Now a Gran Selezione Radda, the Istine 2021 Casanuova dellAia is superb. Made with grapes grown 500m above sea level, vinified spontaneously with native yeasts and aged in large casks, it has great structure and is more restrained than the Vigna Carvachione. It boasts flavors of juicy black cherry, juniper berry and dark spice framed in taut, refined tannins. Its still young and will benefit with several more years laying down in the cellar. Drink 20262041. Abv: 13.5% Kerin OKeefe October 2023 kerinokeefe.com". Vinous 96 Points - "The 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Casanova dell'Aia is a picture-perfect example of Radda. Sage, mint, white pepper, crushed rocks, mint and dried herbs give the 2021 its intensely floral/savory/mineral style. Readers will find a Gran Selezione endowed with tons of tension and pure mineral drive. This has really come along since I tasted it last year." - Antonio Galloni |
