Villa Cerna – Chianti Classico DOCG 1983 Azienda Agraria Villa Cerna – Castellina in Chianti, Tuscany Lot: 6 bottles (0.75L) | 12% vol. A remarkable survivor from one of Tuscany's finest decades, this 1983 Chianti Classico from Villa Cerna represents the Sangiovese grape at its most austere and contemplative. The 1983 vintage in Chianti Classico delivered wines of exceptional concentration and longevity, benefiting from a warm, dry growing season that produced deeply extracted, structured reds with the backbone to age gracefully over decades. Now at over 40 years of age, this wine has entered a phase of profound tertiary evolution. Expect a garnet-brick hue with amber reflections, aromas of dried rose, leather, tobacco, iron, and forest floor, with notes of dried cherry and sweet spice emerging with air. On the palate, silky, well-integrated tannins and a long, earthy finish speak to both the quality of the fruit and the care of conservation. Cellar conditions: Stored professionally under controlled temperature and humidity. Fill levels and labels inspected individually.
