The 2023 vintage, a hot one in Tuscany, had to potential to produce rather robust examples of Chianti Classico. Castello di Radda’s is certainly ripe and juicy, yet not overdone or heavy. Savory nuances and great freshness from the classic Tuscan acidity and Radda’s elevated vineyards balance the plum-like fruitiness. A hint of bitterness in the finish reminds you that this is a fine Chianti Classico. This bargain-priced wine would be great now with a hearty ragù.
