Valdellecorti, small estate in Radda was a very pleasant discovery in my tastings. There are two Chianti Classicos. I prefer the straight bottling, which includes drops of Canaiolo and is aged in cask, over the Riserva, which is instead made with 100% Sangiovese and is raised in neutral French oak barriques and tonneaux. The essence of Radda really seems to breath more naturally in cask.
