2006 Castello di Volpaia Chianti Classico Casanova Il Puro

Out of stock

Wine Spectator | Rating: 93
Offers fabulous aromas of crushed blackberry, with mineral and hints of vanilla bean. Full-bodied, with chewy, polished tannins and gorgeous dark fruits, spices and hints of wet earth and blueberry. Best after 2009. 130 cases made.

The 2006 Chianti Classico Casanova Il Puro is a single-vineyard wine from the Casanova vineyard. I don't think Volpaia has really tuned this wine in just yet. The Puro is dominated by wild, gamey notes and excessive toast from the 100% new French oak barrels, both of which detract considerably from the impressively, rich fruit. The Puro remains a work in progress.
