The 2019 Chianti Classico Vigna Casanova dell'Aia is a dark, ample wine. Succulent dark cherry, plum, lavender and spice open first, showing the more virile side of Sangiovese off to great effect. The 2019 builds effortlessly in the glass as the flavors and tannins gain energy with air. Casanova dell'Aia is located closer to Radda than Vigna Istine and yields a decidedly powerful expression of the village.
