Castello di Volpaia
The hilltop village of Volpaia was built in the 11th century as a fortified village on the Florence-Siena border and is one of the best-preserved walled villages of its period. Just as it has been for the last 900 years, nearly the entire village is intimately involved in the production of wine and olive oil. Most of the employees of the winery live within the village walls, sheltered in houses that the Stianti Mascheroni family has restored for this very purpose. Today, the family is considered one of Italy’s leaders in organic viticulture and farming.
Description
Vivid ruby red. The nose has evident notes of red fruit and hints of cherries. On the palate, the wine is smooth and good structured with a fruity aftertaste.
Food Pairing
Spaghetti or Pasta Bolognese, Pizza, Veal Marsala, Lasagna, Eggplant/Veal & Chicken Parmesan are all enhanced by the herbal notes and smoky finish.
