Descrizione

Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva - Castellare is born in the heart of Tuscany, among the gentle hills of Chianti, an ideal land for the Sangiovese vine, the true protagonist of this wine. The long maturation process in oak barrels allows the wine to develop a complex and harmonious structure, where the tannins blend elegantly with fruity and spicy notes.

In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color, while on the nose it reveals a complex bouquet, mixing scents of cherry, small red fruits, with hints of tobacco and sweet spices. On the palate, it is balanced, enveloping, and persistent, with a pleasant savoriness and freshness that invite another sip.

Perfect with robust dishes from Tuscan cuisine, such as grilled red meats or aged cheeses, this Chianti Classico Riserva - Castellare embodies the tradition and elegance of a great Italian wine.

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.
