Descrizione

Chianti Classico DOCG - Castellare is born in the heart of the Tuscan hills, a territory famous for its authentic wine-making tradition and for the ideal conditions for cultivating Sangiovese. This wine presents itself with a refined balance that reflects the artisanal care of the cellar, with careful aging that often includes passage in oak barrels to enhance the complex and rounded aromas. In the glass, it stands out for its intense ruby color, followed by an aromatic bouquet where notes of ripe cherry, delicate spices, and a slight herbaceous hint typical of the Chianti Classico territory emerge.

The enveloping taste, supported by good acidity and soft tannins, makes this wine particularly versatile in pairings: ideal with red meat dishes, aged cheeses, and the bold flavors of Tuscan cuisine. A Chianti Classico that elegantly tells the passion of Castellare for quality and tradition.

Winery history

Established in the 1970s when Paolo Panerai merged several estates, the winery has combined traditional methods with scientific experimentation. Over time it has introduced modern techniques while maintaining a focus on land stewardship practices.

Production philosophy

Strong focus on the value of the land and native grape varieties, with deliberately low yields to prioritize quality. Agronomic management avoids synthetic chemical inputs and aims for practices that enable wines expressive of the terroir; in addition to wine, the estate also produces olive oil, grappa and artisanal vinegars.

Terroir and vineyards

Located near Castellina in Chianti, the estate has southeast-facing vineyards on mixed soils of calcareous marls and galestro with a low clay content. The natural amphitheatre of the hills favours structured wines suitable for ageing.

Awards and recognitions

International recognition for flagship wines: repeated appearances of "I Sodi di S. Niccolò" in Wine Spectator's Top 100 and high ratings from critics and guides; mentions and awards reported in the company's official communications and in specialist publications.
