Source-supplied bottle description
Retained as supporting identification copy; the structured facts and evidence links above are kept separate.
Whilst many Chianti estates were adopting a more international style of winemaking in the ‘80s and 90s, Baron Alessandro de Renzis preferred to maintain a more traditional approach, eschewing barriques and aggressive extractions. The Castello retains the region’s last remaining ‘vinsantaia’ (traditional vin santo cellars). Leone Rosso is a delicious baby SuperTuscan, accessible both in drinkability and price. This is a little softer, plusher and more internationally-styled than most of the estate's other labels, with a blend of 30% each of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, and 10% Ancelotta, a dark-hued variety from Emilia-Romagna, that gives intense colour and ripe tannins. Dangerously drinkable and very versatile this is super choice for fuelling summer barbecues and summer parties.
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
