Castelvecchio Chianti
Two Castelvecchio Chiantis, poured plain and true in Commack.
The story behind Castelvecchio
Chianti is the red of Tuscany, built on Sangiovese with its bright cherry fruit, firm acidity and a dry, savory finish that makes it one of the most food friendly reds on any table. The classic zone sits between Florence and Siena, and the wines range from easy everyday bottlings to serious riserva styles with more depth.
We stock two Castelvecchio labels here in Commack, Santa Caterina and Il Brecciolino, and we keep only a bottle or two of each on the shelf. Call ahead and we will confirm what is on hand before you drive over.
