Famiglia Castellani Description
Tasting Notes: Red fruits mingles with sweet woody notes. Warm, the nice texture is characterized by vigorous but delicate tannins. The slight aging in wood gives the wine a pleasant feel of toasted coffee and vanilla Intense ruby red colour. Rich plum and bramble fruit flavours and a slight hint of cherries followed by a characteristic scent of violets, strawberries and pepper.
About the winery: Since 1903 my family has been exporting its own finest Estate wines from Tuscany. We have changed and evolved over the decades, but throughout the years the philosophy of our work has remained consistent: “The quality of the wine begins in the vineyard”, as my ancestors used to say. Today, as we enter this century, our aim and aspiration is what it has always been: to create memorable wines. This is the reason why our work during the last ten years has been so passionate, investing in research and new cellar technologies.
James Suckling: 94 Points
This is very fresh with cherries and dark chocolate and hints of spices. Medium to full body. Fine tannins. Complex finish. Lots of fruit. From the Alta Maremma, facing the coast. Drink now.
