Squarcialupi hails from the small town of Castellina, in the very heart of Chianti Classico’s birthplace. The cellar is hidden in the historic Squarcialupi castle, right in the centre of Castellina – hence the name of the wine. In the 15th Century, the Squarcialupi family were allies of the powerful Medici of Florence in their never-ending feud with Siena. It’s mind-blowing to think that such great wine is now made inside the storied walls of their historic castle.
With a rich palate of fresh raspberry and cherry, this wine is the quintessential Chianti Classico. Expect lots of flavour, freshness and an attractive level of oakiness that doesn’t overpower the bouquet.
