Granbruno

The Granbruno from Castello di Radda is a red wine from the heart of Chianti Classico — a hilly landscape between Florence and Siena that has been one of Italy's most significant red wine terroirs for centuries. Galestro soils, cool nights at an altitude of over 500 meters, and the Tuscan climate shape Sangiovese grapes here with a special acidity structure and depth.

Castello di Radda is located in the town of the same name, one of the classic centers of Chianti Classico. The estate's wines stand for artisanal vinification with respect for the terroir — aging in wooden barrels gives the Granbruno structure without masking the varietal-typical freshness. In the glass, aromas of sour cherry and plum appear, underpinned by tobacco, dried herbs, and a hint of earth. The tannins are present but fine-grained; the acidity gives the wine drive and length. The finish is warm, spicy, and persistent.

It is best served at 16–18 °C — with Bistecca alla Fiorentina, braised wild boar, or an aged Pecorino Toscano. It also pairs well with pasta with ragù or mushroom risotto.
