The 2021 vintage began with a rather hot March which was followed by a sharp drop in temperature at the beginning of April. Fortunately, this did not cause much damage to the buds. April and May were characterised by lower than average temperatures and plenty of rain. Summer was very hot and there was very little rainfall. From mid-August temperatures became milder with little rain continuing. The harvest began slightly earlier than usual.

Non aromi ma una madeleine di echi olfattivi ci distoglie dall’horror vacui conducendoci verso lampone selvatico, nuances di cuoio, chiodi di garofano ed erbe officinali, impreziosite da un finale ematico e di arancia sanguinella. Al palato incalza con una trama tannica setosa sinergicamente legata ad un’acidità di straordinario nerbo che dona freschezza. Si schiude per un finale balsamico, d’imperitura persistenza.

Lovely cherry, raspberry and floral aromas and flavors are at the heart of this graceful red. Vibrant and elegant, with well-integrated tannins and a long, supple, mineral-tinged finish. This should be really charming in about 5 to 6 years. Best from 2025 through 2043. 400 cases imported. — BS

Aromas of black cherries and citrus with some graphite and smoke. Medium-bodied with firm, juicy tannins that are chewy now, but will soften with age. Racy and long at the end. From organically grown grapes. Better after 2024.

Timido al naso si manifesta con ricordi di frutti rossi croccanti come ribes e mirtillo rosso. Secondariamente, fiori di ibisco e chicchi di melagrana. Al palato, corpo pieno, tannini ben estratti ed un finale di buona persistenza. Bevi ora o invecchia.

Medium ruby red in colour. Blue florals of violet, hyacinth and lavender. Dark cherry, wild strawberry, dewberry, orange peel, Mocha, sweet tobacco, incense and dark spice. Super expressive. Lifted fresh fruit and spice tray. Totally compelling.

Rubino pieno, riflessi violacei. Al naso note di rosa appassita, ciliegia nera in confettura, pietra focaia, spezie bianche. Piccante al sorso, sapido e fresco su una trama tannica spiccata, ma in equilibrio. Finale medio su nota alcolica e sentori pepati, spezie dolci

History of wine

Coltassala, the archetype of the contemporary Chianti Classico.
Despite its original classification as Vino da Tavola, Coltassala was immediately recognized by the international press as a Super Tuscan.
The defining features of Coltassala went on to set the standard for a revised specification of Chianti Classico. Coltassala has surpassed the categorization it helped define and is now proudly classified as a DOCG Chianti Classico Gran Selezione
