The Frescobaldi 2018 Chianti Castiglioni shows lots of primary intensity with wild berry, plum and even a touch of sweet peach. This is a lean-bodied red wine that offers some of the earthy tones you can expect of Sangiovese, with potting soil and a touch of Mediterranean rosemary or lavender essence. This is an informal wine to pair with a quick plate of late-night pasta.

This wine has a well-deserved reputation for steady consistency and good value. The 2017 Chianti Castiglioni is fresh and vibrant with wild strawberry, dark plum and pressed violet. There are pretty earthy sensations that give the wine a bit of extra texture and depth. This is an easy-drinking Chianti, executed in the true tradition of this Tuscan appellation, that would pair with any basic spaghetti and tomato sauce combination.
