Casale dello Sparviero Chianti Classico Reserva

Casale dello Sparviero (‘sparrowhawk’) is situated in the heart of Chianti Classico overlooking the old hill-top town of Castellina-in-Chianti. The Casale was once a 17th century monastery and the vineyards today extend over approximately 250 acres. The wine making takes place in modern cellars but the ageing is still carried out in the older part of the buildings in charming traditional cellars. Great structure and personality.  It has a ruby red colour tending to garnet and aromas of ripe berries, jam, spices, pepper and sweet tobacco.
