Castello di Volpaia Coltassala, Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG — 2016 – Decanter – 95 Points
95 points
To date, the 2016 is the finest Coltassala – first released in 1980. Now classified as a single-vineyard Gran Selezione rather than an IGT ‘SuperTuscan’, Coltassala emphasises the freshness found at Castello di Volpaia due to the extra-high altitude. A blend of 95% Sangiovese and 5% Mammolo, this classy Chianti Classico spends 24 months in new oak, with six months in bottle before release. The dark fruits, slight herbal edge and generous tannins make this a great partner for wild boar ragù.
