"I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti" - Hannibal Lecter

Chianti, the famous red wine from Italy, has been loved for its elegance for hundreds of years. The breathtaking region, with the same name, attracts thousands each year to feast on the ruby red elixir produced here.
And if you can find bottles from the 2015 vintage you're in for a treat. Rated 9/10 on the official scale, the 15 vintage delivered some legendary bottles. Our wine of the week is one of them, and at a very affordable price. 

Tasting notes

Castell'in Villa Chianti Classico 2015 - 239kr

​Ruby red brick coloured, with a slight brown edge.

Rich, delicious and sweet aromas. Smell of prunes, black berries, leather and ropes. Clear and earthy aromas pop up just after a couple of minutes. It smells like after a heavy rainfall in an autumn forrest. 

Taste of cherries and dark berries, with a nice touch of oak.
Smooth tannins, good weight and great acidity. 

​A propper "hygge-vin".

FOOD
Will handle meat excellent. Ragu of beef, grilled juicy steaks and superb with most lamb dishes.

AGEING
This wine will continue to develop nicely over the next 5 years.
