The 2006 Chianti Classico Riserva Coltassala possesses an additional level of plumpness, depth and richness in its core of ripe, dark fruit, new leather and subtle French oak. The Coltassala offers superb balance and polish in an expansive, round style. It is a gorgeous Chianti to enjoy now and over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2018. Volpaia is a great source for elegant, fragrant Chiantis made in a mid-weight style. The estate’s vineyards are among the highest of the Chianti Classico zone and in warm vintages such as 2006 the property excels in making wines of superb balance.
