Descrizione

In the heart of the historic Chianti Classico area, the Riserva Il Poggiale signed Castellare represents an excellence that celebrates the Tuscan winemaking tradition. Obtained from a careful selection of Sangiovese, with possible additions of other typical grape varieties, this Chianti Classico DOCG stands out for its aging in oak barrels, enhancing complexity and structure.

In the glass it shows an intense ruby red color, while on the nose it opens with enveloping aromas of ripe cherry, delicate spices, and a slight earthy note that underlines the character of the Chianti territory. On the palate it is harmonious, vibrant, with soft tannins and a persistence that recalls fruity hints and a delicate minerality. Ideal to accompany robust dishes such as roasted meats, aged cheeses, or wild boar pappardelle, this wine embodies the elegance and strength of a great Chianti Classico.

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.
