“... remarkable purity, precision and nuance, all in an energetic, translucent style ...cedar, tobacco and lifted floral notes ... The 2013 Coltassala is one of the finest wines I have ever tasted at Volpaia. Don't miss it."

“An extremely soft yet tensioned Chianti Classico with cherry and berry character. Hints of walnut. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a fresh finish.”
