Castellare di Castellina, Chianti Classico Kosher 2019
This is a wonderfully pure and expressive Chianti Classico - bright cherry and red plum aromas lifted by violets and a gentle herbal note, underpinned by subtle spice and soft earthiness. On the palate it’s medium-bodied, lively and harmonious, with fine tannins and a fresh, food-friendly finish that speaks of the stony Galestro soils of Castellina. Castellare di Castellina was born of the union of four estates (Castellare, Caselle, San Niccolò and Le Case) on the initiative of Paolo Panerai, with the aim of producing wine of the best possible quality. This was in the 1970s, when the so-called Renaissance of Italian wine had begun. Castellare has long been known for its dedication to biodiversity (every label features a different endangered bird) and its commitment to traditional Tuscan winemaking with a refined, modern touch. This kosher bottling is a natural extension of the estate’s philosophy: wines of authenticity and sense of place, made to be shared.
Château Pichon-Longueville, Les Griffons de Pichon Baron 2018
Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is one of the second wines of the property. Created since the 2012 vintage, it has a pure and direct character. The grapes which make up this wine's blend come primarily from gravelly plots of land near to the Gironde estuary, a good environment for Cabernet-sauvignon. Les Griffons offers a vigorous and fresh tasting experience, full-bodied and clean, overflowing with energy. It can be laid down in the cellar or enjoyed right away.
