Visually, it displays an intense ruby colour tending towards garnet, while on the nose it releases varietal aromas with delicate hints of violet. On the palate, it is \u003cstrong\u003eharmonious and savoury\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by a well-integrated tannic structure and a persistent finish of ripe plum. If allowed to breathe for about an hour before serving, this red pairs beautifully with roast guinea fowl, a traditional \u003cstrong\u003eTuscan beef stew\u003c\/strong\u003e and flavourful mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from the hills of Radda in Chianti, at around four hundred metres above sea level. The vineyards benefit from an ideal south-facing exposure, rooted in \u003cstrong\u003eclay-limestone\u003c\/strong\u003e soil characterised by a good presence of siliceous stones. The area's microclimate is defined by \u003cstrong\u003esignificant temperature variations\u003c\/strong\u003e and moderate maximum temperatures. This environmental synergy allows the Sangiovese to ripen gradually, ensuring the wine has profound \u003cstrong\u003estructural elegance\u003c\/strong\u003e and a faithful expressive link to its territory of origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e, the selected bunches ferment in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature. Maceration on the skins for two or three weeks ensures optimal extraction of colour and aromas. Malolactic fermentation takes place in both steel and wood, serving as a prelude to ageing in tonneaux and \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. The winemaking process concludes with at least six months of bottle ageing, consolidating an aromatic complexity capable of \u003cstrong\u003eevolving beautifully over time\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 2003 on the enchanting hills of Siena, Castello di Radda enhances the authentic Tuscan vocation through a \u003cstrong\u003eorganic and sustainable\u003c\/strong\u003e approach.
