Volpaia Coltassala Chianti Classico Gran Selezione - 2019 (750ml)

Produced for the first time in 1980, Coltassala is one of the three single-vineyard wines crafted by Volpaia, and it holds a special place in the winery's history. Over the years, it has evolved alongside the broader transformation of the Chianti region itself. Initially released as a table wine, Coltassala then progressed to Toscana IGT, reflecting the winery’s early efforts to showcase the unique potential of its terroir. As the quality and recognition of the wine grew, it became a Chianti Classico Riserva, highlighting its aging potential and the care taken in its production. Finally, Coltassala achieved the prestigious Gran Selezione designation, the highest level within the Chianti Classico DOCG.

Wine Spectator | 96 Points

"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."

Wine Advocate | 94 Points

“The wine shows medium-rich fruit weight with a nicely medley of creamy black fruit, Christmas spice and crushed stone or granite. The wine is fruity and contemporary at the same time.”
