The Chianti Classico 2012 from Castello di Selvole is mature and inviting, showing developed aromas of dried cherry, cedar, and worn leather alongside subtle notes of earth and herbs. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with softened tannins and gentle acidity, delivering a classic profile of aged Sangiovese. A touch of tobacco and spice lingers on the finish, making this wine ideal for traditional Tuscan dishes or simply enjoyed with aged cheeses and rustic fare. Now drinking at its peak, it’s a charming, old-school Chianti that captures the warmth and soul of the 2012 vintage.
Castello di Selvole is a historic estate nestled in the rolling hills of Castelnuovo Berardenga, one of the most renowned subzones of Chianti Classico. With roots dating back to Etruscan and Roman times, the property embodies centuries of Tuscan winemaking tradition. In recent decades, Selvole has focused on refining its vineyard practices and cellar work to emphasize purity of fruit and terroir expression. Sangiovese is the heart of the estate’s production, cultivated with respect for the natural environment and a commitment to showcasing the diversity of the Berardenga soils. Their approach blends tradition and modernity, yielding wines that are structured yet accessible, and deeply reflective of their origin.
