2008 Chianti Classico and 2007 & 2006 Riservas: Run, Don't Walk to the Store!
Castello di Volpaia Chianti Classico 2008 89/100
A sexy and even complex nose, laced with ripe candied cherry, black pepper, and new leather is sure to please and the attack on the palate does not displease. Made in the new-school, here we see balance, a healthy yet not overdone extraction of fruit, and a finish that is long, balanced, and persistent. The wine is clearly crafted for the world stage and I'm confident it will find an encore audience more times than not. Well done.
Castello di Volpaia Chianti Classico Coltassala 2007 87/100
An unfinished nose, while still appealing, leads to an uber dense chew-toy that shows serious promise but now needs a braised wildebeest to keep it in check. A monster of a wine but the chewy tannins are matched backstage by the fruit that has yet to unearth itself. In time.
Castello di Volpaia Chianti Classico Riserva 86/100
An ample and bright nose, complete with the dried flowers, raw beef, and chocolate, leads to a complete wine in the mouth. The fruit, where red berry and blueberries lead the way, is well integrated into the chewy tannins that hover on the palate from start to finish.

2006 Coltassala
Chianti Classico Riserva
92 points
“A blend of Sangiovese and Mammolo selected from an estate vineyard at 1,450 feet, Coltassala is an aristocratic Chianti Classico with a little modern flash from aging in French barriques. The first impressions are tied to the tannins, tight, austere and rooty, with an earthy, foresty coolness. As the fruit evolves, that foresty note turns toward blackberries and wild cherries, the prettiness of the fruit making a lasting impression. This will benefit from cellar time or decanting for roast duck.”
2008 Vermentino
Maremma Toscana
90 points
“Cool in tone, with a wave of litchi and quince flavor, this is a rich, spicy vermentino for grilled game fish. The finish melds the floral scent of chamomile
2003 Vin Santo
del Chianti Classico
92 points
“Golden in color, in its roasted nut, rich maple sap aromas, this wine has tremendous depth and dimension to its flavors. It bristles with spice, contrasting sweetness with drier notes of wood tannin. The flavors grow more expansive with air, making this a wine of meditation and a delicious accompaniment to maple walnut gelato with

Tasting Wines in Chianti Classico
Volpaia is a fantastically preserved and renovated Italian village of medieval origins. The Stianti family, owners of Castello di Volpaia, have painstakingly restored much of the village and converted it to their winery while preserving all the architectural details and appearances that takes one back to a simpler way of life.

James Suckling's comments on the 2006 Chianti Classico Riservas
"I especially like the 2006 riservas. Some producers obviously take the riserva category seriously, bottling a selection of their best wines or focusing on a top vineyard and then aging the wine an extra year before release. Here are just a few of the 2006 Chianti Classico riservas to look for: the Castello di Querceto Il Picchio (94, $55), the Casaloste Don Vincenzo (93, $70), the Casalvento (93, $29), the Castello di Bossi Berardo (93, $41), the Castello di Volpaia Coltassala (93, $54) and the Viticcio (93, $32)."

Vineyard Tour of Volpaia
Had a very lazy day today, grabbed a coffee from our local, walked around our property and had lunch. Were hanging around waiting for our tour at 4pm in Volpaia. Arrived in Volpaia, met up with Roberta who took us on our tour. She gave us a bit of a history blurb on the origins of the hamlet, and took us to the olive oil pressing room first. Was so interesting to see how it's all done. Then we set of the the winery side of things, she took us through the entire process from crushing to fermenting, to aging, to bottling to drinking. We tried 1 white, which was crisp and fresh, and 3 reds. We liked the Classico Reserve the best. She showed us how the dry the sweet white grapes to make the dessert wine, what a sight! Wish we had of tasted that one, bit x'y to buy. All in all a very interesting experience, Volpaia was gorgeous, so old, yet behind the big ancient doors lies the most modern wine making equipment known to Italy!

I like the walls of building in Italian villages and cities. The walls tells stories of age and repair and design. So, when Kris and I are sipping a latte at an outdoor cafe, my eyes often wander to the exteriors of buildings I can see. Here are three, one from Monteriggioni, Assisi, and Volpaia ...

Van castello naar palazzo
Tussen Firenze en Siena ligt het hart van Toscane. De Chianti is hét uithangbord van de streek. De olijfbomen, wijngaarden, cipressen, versterkte dorpen ('castello'), boerderijen en kastelen zorgen voor een landschap dat nergens ter wereld zijn gelijke kent. Er is de klassieke Chiantiroute. Maar wij stippelden een route uit die ook langs minder bekende plekjes voert.

Volpaia
Fodor's Review:
Perched atop a hill 10 km (6 mi) north of Radda is Volpaia, a fairy-tale hamlet that was a military outpost from the 10th to the 16th century and once a shelter for religious pilgrims. Every August, for the Festa di San Lorenzo, people come to Volpaia to watch for falling stars and a traditional fireworks display put on by the family that owns the adjacent wine estate and agriturismo lodging, Castello di Volpaia (Piazza della Cisterna 1, 53017. 0577/738066).

Dungeons and Trebbianos - If you want to find the best wine bargains in Italy, you're best advised to get a little medieval.
F ifty-two people, four churches, no priests. And the niftiest winery you've ever seen. Welcome to Volpaia. Nifty? OK, medieval nifty, as in a winery that's cleverly built into, around, among, and through a tiny Tuscan hill town (a hamlet, really) that dates from the 11th century. It's spitting distance to Radda in Chianti, 25 miles from Siena and 35 from Florence, and its historic purpose was to fend off attacks from the Florentines. Its purpose today is to demonstrate how much better it is than where you live.
Castello di Volpaia harvests Sangiovese, Cabernet, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Syrah and Chardonnay (this is not your grandfather's Chianti) from vineyards surrounding Volpaia, vinifies them in buildings hundreds of years old around the Piazza 23 Novembre, and ages them in labyrinthine cellars underneath a couple of those priestless churches - which is also the Lord's work. For you authenticity fans, you can finally climb up the steep stairs to a vin santaia, an attic where Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes hang on long chains from the rafters, like hams, drying out for months at a time before being turned into the most sacred sweet wine, vin santo.
And then you can go make lunch. The other nifty part about the winery (and olive oil producer) is that it's also a cooking school run by owner Giovannella ("call me Jo" ) Stianti Mascheroni. It's a very small cooking school, and yes, you can sign on for just one meal. I didn't enroll for class, but I did stay to eat Jo's Pasta Norma and her veal braised in milk and carrots. And drank her bright Chianti Classico, a food-affectionate, acid-rich sweetheart. For dessert, I nominated her for sainthood.

RAIUNO: Easy Driver a Volpaia
Si rinnova l'appuntamento con "Easy Driver", il programma di Raiuno in onda sabato 4 aprile alle ore 14, dedicato al mondo dei motori e condotto da Ilaria Moscato e Marcellino Mariucci. Ed ancora una volta i due saranno in Toscana per visitare i luoghi che gli inglesi chiamano "Chiantishire" una terra di vini, borghi e morbide colline. Ilaria e Marcellino partiranno da Greve, a pochi chilometri da Firenze, esattamente da Piazza Verrazzano, datata 500, ai cui lati scorrono i portici usati anticamente per stoccare le merci. In questa puntata Ilaria sara` alla guida della nuova Volkswagen Scirocco, mentre Marcellino Mariucci guidera` la Toyota Avensis Wagon. Ilaria visitera` il castello di Meleto, con le sue torri circolari, le mura quattrocentesche, i saloni affrescati, le logge e i cortili. Marcellino, invece, visitera' Volpaia, un delizioso borgo antico nel bel mezzo delle colline del Chianti dove il tempo sembra essersi fermato all'anno Mille.
Ilaria e Marcellino si ritroveranno, per i saluti finali, al castello d'Albola, in provincia di Siena, una villa del 500 appartenuta a celebri famiglie fiorentine che hanno fatto la storia della Toscana. E da qui i due conduttori dopo essersi scambiati le reciproche impressioni sulle due vetture passeranno la parola ai nostri esperti di "Quattroruote" per la consueta scheda tecnica. Le rubriche di Sergio Spanu e le sue moto, "Car Style" di Susanna Baccetti, e "Un agente per amico" di Susanna Checconi completeranno la puntata.

Winnipeg Sun - 29/03/2009
Under our Tuscan sun
"... On our last full day in Tuscany we venture out to discover Volpaia, a tiny hamlet up in the hills behind Radda. After thinking we've taken the wrong turn we end up on the correct route -- yet another narrow, winding road to the village. Volpaia is like most towns in Tuscany, you will see your destination long before you reach it. Most towns are perched high on hills. This was done in order to protect them from rival neighbouring towns centuries ago.
Volpaia proves to be a most interesting stop. We enjoy a cappuccino in the small town square before venturing out to walk the narrow cobblestone streets. We pick up some locally made wine and vinegars before stopping for lunch at one of the two restaurants. Our view is again spectacular and the food equally good.
Most restaurants offer indoor and outdoor dining and we choose outdoor as often as we can. The food in Tuscany is everything I thought it would be. Every restaurant offers a wide selection of fresh pasta plus different meats. Pork, wild boar and rabbit appear quite often on the menus, roasted or in stews. The wine menus are extensive, highlighting the Classico Chianti, for which the region is famous. We take every opportunity to sample the local favourites either on our plates or in our glasses. ..."

A slow travellers' guide to Italy
"Most guests arrive in a state of shock, admit Guido and Martina. The postal address suggests this place is on the Tuscan tourist trail; the reality is glorious isolation. But the Bevilacquas' skills as hosts soothe the most ruffled feathers, and the astonishing panorama of Chianti and the medieval village of Volpaia does the rest. "We give guests an 'unplugged' experience without letting them feel abandoned," says Martina. "We look after them, make them drinks, cook for them, help them make plans. We know when to leave people alone and when to join in."
Guido and Martina found the old farm 12 years ago after it had been abandoned for 40 years. "It was a classic story: farmhouse left to rot, trees growing inside, land overgrown," says Martina.
The couple are supporters of the Slow Food Movement. Says Guido: "We are surrounded by 300 hectares of some of the best organic vineyards, olive groves and honey. We take a lot of care choosing our suppliers and, thank God, here it is still possible to find small artisan producers."
Martina, who does most of the cooking, prepares what is seasonal and good. "I prepare only one thing each night, just as you would at home. Sometimes we eat beautifully but simply; sometimes dinner is elaborate. I imagined when we moved here that we would find a local lady from the village to cook for us. She never materialised and now I do it all and I love it."
They are a dynamic pair, full of vigour and life, and they have created a memorable place to stay. The beautiful pool vies for attention with the heart- stopping view, there are a library/bar, fine antiques, lovely art, whitewashed rafters soaring over pretty beds and terraces upon which Guido alights with glasses of wine, maybe a grappa, or a restorative coffee. They are vigilant guardians of the landscape and of local traditions. They richly deserve all the good company that is lured to La Locanda.

The Heart Of Chianti
"... The other side of the valley from Spaltenna and a short drive through the winding country roads of Chianti is Volpaia, a small village perched atop the mountain. Dating back to circa 1172, Volpaia is home to some of the finest Chianti Classico. After a stroll through this beautiful medieval village a relaxing lunch on the terrace of the Osteria di Volpaia is in order. Our suggestion would be that you enjoy a frittata with a glass of Bianco di Volpaia. ..."

Unique Ideas for Tuscany Trip?
Just being in the Chianti area is fabulous. We were last there in fall 2007. We too were looking for something a little different. We arranged ahead of time to have a private tour and wine tasting in Volpaia. Volpaia is a very small hill town between Panzano and Greve right off of the Chianti Road (S222). The whole village is the winery. Just google it and you will find it. The village and its history are charming. The wines are excellent (the Balifico super tuscan is out of this world). Our host and guide Marja (a Finnish ex-pat who wanted to be in Chianti) made the experience so wonderful for the six of us. The tour and tasting was also combined with a delightful dinner. The price was very reasonable and left us with smiling faces and happy memories. Have fun.

Castello di Volpaia Chianti Classico Riserva 2004
100% Sangiovese While needing a bit of time to get going this has classic notes of tobacco, leather and limestone on the nose. There is a nuance of vanilla and lovely grace notes of smoke and slightly herbaceous/herbal sod. This offers up a wonderfully feminine and firmly mid-bodied feel with fine acidity and rich flavors of leather, red currants, a touch of rust, and limestone with nice richness on the back end and solid length. Over the course of the evening this puts on weight and the fruit darkens but never becomes too heavy. Very fine, balanced Chianti that is sure to please. read more on Snooth.com

Die Resonanz des Cellokörpers im Raum
Es kommt vor, dass der Cellist Ernst Reijseger andere Cellisten erschreckt. Cellisten sind oft zart besaitet, und es geht ihnen durch Mark und Bein, wenn Reijseger etwa bei einer Live-Performance mit dem Stachel seines Instruments über Sandsteinboden schrabt und fiese Geräusche erzeugt, als setze er die Gesundheit seines schönen Instruments aufs Spiel. Was er nie tun würde.
Manchmal unterhält er auch mit ungewöhnlichen Spieltechniken, die Cellisten an keinem Konservatorium lernen: eigenwilligen Pizzicato-Techniken, akkordischem Spiel wie auf einer Wandergitarre, merkwürdigen Arco-Techniken, bei denen beispielsweise nicht der Bogen, sondern das Instrument bewegt (nämlich am Bogen entlang gedreht) wird. All das sieht oft nach erheiternden Einsprengseln aus, hat aber immer auch beabsichtigte klangliche und keineswegs nur theatrale Effekte.
ANZEIGE
Auf seinem neuen Album zeigt Reijseger sich gleichwohl als ausgesprochen konzentrierter, spielerisch überaus disziplinierter und unauffällig-virtuoser, also keinesfalls exaltierter Instrumentalist. "Tell me Everything" besteht aus zehn eigene Stücken, zwei Stücken des japanischen Pianisten Fumio Yasuda und einem des Cellistenkollegen Tristan Honsiger, und es atmet den Geist eines buddistischen Minimalismus.
Omnipräsent wie Umgebungstemperatur ist eine überaus ernste und in keinem Augenblick gefallsüchtige Harmonie, und die Musik ist von großem aus der Stille entwickelten akustisch-organischen Farbenreichtum. In ihrem Verhältnis zur Welt offenbart sie einen Zugang, den man mystisch nennen könnte, weil er sich nicht darauf beschränkt, Zeit mit Tönen zu füllen, sondern dem Raum gerecht zu werden.
Morgendliche Singvögel, aus deren Musik heraus das Eröffnungsstück "Bidderosa" sich kraftvoll und in starken Linien entwickelt, um dann wieder zurück zu treten in die Naturgeräusche, verweisen auf eine Art ontologischer musikalischer Demut.
Aufgenommen hat Reijseger das Album in der Toskana im Keller eines Weingutes und in der Kirche La Commenda di San Eufronsio in Volpaia. Wer genau hinhören mag, vernimmt manchmal die Resonanz des kleinen Cellokörper-Innenraumes in diesen größeren Gewölben und eine sanfte, unausweichliche Dramatik, die Reijseger bei solchen Begegnungen im Raum mit seinen zurückhaltenden Kompositionen in die Welt setzt, ohne dass die Musik dadurch etweas Sakrales bekäme.

Klöster und Kulinarisches an der Via Cassia - Durch das Land des schwarzen Hahns
3 km nach Panzano biegt man links Richtung Radda in Chianti ab, um das nächste Gut zu erreichen. Durch Weinberge und Wälder geht es entlang dem Flüsschen Pesa, bis sich nach etwa 10 km an einer Haarnadelkurve links die Straße zum Castello di Volpaia (Tel. 05 77 73 80 66, www.volpaia.com) emporschlängelt. Aus dem verlassenen Dorf haben seine Besitzer eines der renommiertesten Weingüter und ein kleines Mekka für moderne Kunst gemacht. Die Weine (rot: »Chianti Classico«, »Balifico« und vor allem der »Coltassala«; weiß: »Torniello«) und vorzügliches Olivenöl können Sie das ganze Jahr hindurch am winzigen Dorfplatz kaufen.

A few from Castello di Volpaia
I had dinner last night with young Nicolo Mascheroni Stianti; currently working the US markets trying to get the word out about his families wines. We shared bottles of Castello di Volpaia wines and they all gave very solid showings running the gamut from classic to modern but each speaking with a clear voice, relaying it’s Tuscan origins!
The Stianti family owns the majority of the 12th century village from which the winery takes it’s name. Volpaia is a preserved hilltop town harkening back to more peaceful times. An unusual fact about the label of the Castello di Volpaia is that the crest on the label, a drawing of a fox climbing a hill, refers not to some regal family association but rather to the simple origin of the village’s name. Volpaia refers to a fox’s lair and rests on the crest of a small hill,: the inspiration for the simple crest!
Behind the restored facades of these medieval homes and deconsecrated churches lies a complex warren-like wine cellar and olive press all interconnected via a network of stainless steel pipes. The village itself has been converted into the winery and thus it is easy to pass through town thinking one has missed the winery. As cagy, and respectful of the land as that may be don’t be fooled into thinking that the village itself isn’t still a vibrant community It is in fact a growing rural, agricultural community, home to some 50 plus people who form the core of the staff of Castello di Volpaia. This village of people tends to every aspect of the winemaking process, which includes the organic farming of all the vineyards and olive groves, to the manual harvest, and even the production of honey and vinegar.
The wines are made with a combination of modern and traditional techniques; the reds under-go a cold soak to extract the maximum pigment and polyphenols from the skins but undergo a fermentation with natural yeast, for example. In an effort to retain the genetic diversity of the vineyards and avoid reliance on only one or two clones of the vine, the Stianti family cultivate a plot of library vines from which stock is taken to replant the vineyards as needed. There is even a small plot of pre-phyloxera vines here, which have survived due to the sandy soil and high elevation of the vines.
Barrel ageing is undertaken in a blend of large French and Slavonian wood and French barriques, the overwhelming majority of which are neutral. The style of the Volpaia wines is really dictated by the slopes that are home to the vines. Sitting at elevations of approximately 1500 feet above see level, and in the cool Radda zone of Chianti, the grapes here have to struggle to fully ripen and the wines will never have the power and richness of those from warmer climes. What they do have however is balance, transparency, fine acidity and the minerality of their limestone rich soils.
Sangiovese and many Tuscan wines based on Sangiovese are a tricky subject. They are inherently wines for food and they rely on their ability to work with food and their gentle and slightly rustic grace to distinguish themselves. Many examples have been produced over the past two decades where this grace is replaced with incongruous power and blends have come to market where foreign grapes mask the delicacy of the indigenous Sangiovese. It is a delicate balance, but the Stianti family, who have owned Volpaia for over 150 years, are cognizant of the limits one can expect from this fine terroir and have chosen to walk the path of tradition and allow the wines to express only what the grapes can offer, nothing more but nothing less. It is true that these wines may exhibit a bit of obvious wood in their youth but this tends to be quickly absorbed and does not interfere with the fine aromatic expression these wines are capable of.

Castello di Volpaia Balifico Toscana IGT 2005
One-third Cabernet Sauvignon, two thirds Sangiovese di Volpaia, a clone from the property. This offers up the classic scents of these Sangiovese/Cab blends yet even at this relatively high percentage of Cabernet it does not dominate the nose. There are balanced notes of leathery fruit and cool, crisp Cabernet notes with a gentle edge of tomato leaf. Gaining a bit more depth with air the lightly smoky, spicy chili notes of Cabernet become more assertive yet in the mouth the feel is that of the austere and sapid Sangiovese but with the deep black currant fruit of Cabernet augmenting the cherry tones read more...of the Sangiovese well. This retains juicy acids and has good length in a rounder and fruitier style than the other wines. Definitely a crowd-pleaser and while perhaps as complex as the other Castello di Volpaia wines this is a bit on the smooth and polished side.

Italian Winemakers in Town at Jimmy's
The folks in this forum are the last ones who need to be told what a resource for Italian food and wine Jimmy's is ('scuse my dangling participle, I went to a cheap skool).
However, you might like to know about a three shot fusilade of wine dinners they have at the end of this month at which the winemakers will attend. These are likely to sell out within hours.
Dinner #1 - January 30th
Region: Tuscany, Winery: Volpaia
Winemaker Nicolo Mascheroni Stianti
Nicolo was born in Florence and went to high school and college in Boston. He returned to Italy to earn his degree from Bocconi University in Milan in 1998. After working for some of the top companies in Italy he came back to the family business at Volpaia. In time Nicolo will assume leadership of Volpaio.
We will be tasting 6 wines and I will prepare a 4-course Tuscan sytle dinner.
Dinner #1 - The Tuscany/Volpaia - Wine Dinner
Wednesday, January 30th
7:00 p.m. - Check in 6:30 p.m.
