minor cellar scuffed labels
Crafted in Beechworth, Victoria, La Chiave is Castagna’s expression of Sangiovese through a biodynamic lens. This 2014 vintage showcases purity and restraint, reflecting the winery’s commitment to minimal intervention and site-driven character.
The nose offers aromas of red cherry, dried herbs, leather, and rose petals. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and savoury, with notes of sour cherry, earthy spice, and fine tannins that build a firm yet elegant structure. The finish is long and poised, marked by lifted acidity and classic varietal definition.
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted meats, game birds, and tomato-based pasta dishes. Aged gracefully, the 2014 La Chiave offers both immediate drinking pleasure and further potential in the cellar.
