Castellare di Castellina — Tuscan heritage with modern elegance

Located in Castellina in Chianti, at the heart of Chianti Classico, Castellare di Castellina is one of Tuscany’s most respected estates. It champions the pure expression of Sangioveto (local name for Sangiovese), producing wines that balance tradition, precision, and authenticity.

Since the 1970s, the estate has promoted native grape varieties, avoiding international blends and focusing on site-specific elegance and clarity.

Philosophy and winemaking

The estate follows sustainable practices, with no herbicides or synthetic chemicals. Yields are kept low to ensure concentration and balance.

Fermentations are carried out in stainless steel or concrete vats, with gentle extractions. Aging is tailored to each wine — some in French oak barrels (moderately used), others in tanks — always with a focus on freshness and typicity.

Wine style

Castellare’s wines are defined by natural elegance, bright acidity, and a refined structure. The Sangioveto expresses itself with notes of black cherry, violets, tobacco, and subtle spice. The style is classic yet approachable, with impressive food-pairing versatility and aging potential.
