Here's another very interesting wine from Volpaia that has since been moved up to Grand Selezione status. The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Coltassala (with 9000 bottles made) is 95% Sangiovese and 5% Mammolo. Initially the wine puts forward an elegant and streamlined personality but it quickly takes on volume with dark fruit layering and sweet spice. This vintage offers an especially focused or sharp personality that bodes well for its future bottle evolution.
Originally planted at the end of the 1990s Coltassala is
Fresh and focused delivering black cherry blackberry and stone flavors with a structure that borders on racy. This firms up nicely on the lingering finish which bears tinges of iron and sanguine. Best from 2023 through 2035. 150 cases imported.
