Castellare di Castellina

Castellare di Castellina is a wine producer based in Chianti Classico, in the heart of Tuscany's Conti Guidi area. The estate focuses exclusively on red wine production, drawing from vineyards planted primarily to Sangiovese, the region's defining grape variety.

Chianti Classico represents one of Italy's most historically established and tightly regulated wine zones. The region's combination of elevation, clay-rich soils, and a cool continental climate moderates Sangiovese's natural ripeness, encouraging wines with bracing acidity, firm tannin structure, and mineral characteristics rather than overripe fruit. Producers in the zone typically offer wines across quality tiers, from straightforward Chianti Classico bottlings to riserva expressions aged longer in wood.

Castellare di Castellina's current range consists of Chianti Classico bottlings at three levels: a standard Chianti Classico, their Il Poggiale cru, and a Riserva designation that indicates extended aging. These releases are built on Sangiovese fruit and reflect the traditional approach characteristic of serious Chianti Classico producers.
