The Wine

The 2008 Balifico (Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon) is an intriguing wine. An exotic melange of dark cherries In liqueur, smoke, licorice and menthol jumps from the glass. In 2008 the Balifico is rich, powerful and incredibly intense. There appears to be enough density to support the generous oak, but here, too, the style is a bit forced. Radda, and Volpaia in particular, is not a part of the Chianti Classico that is inherently suited to making concentrated wines. Mint, flowers and herbs are layered into the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014 – 2028.

The Castello di Volpaia was built in the 11th century as a fortified village on the Florence/Siena border. Although only part of the original protective walls and two of its six towers are still standing, the medieval layout and buildings within the village are still intact, making Volpaia undoubtedly one of the best preserved villages of its period.
