CASTELLARE DI CASTELLINA

Castellare di Castellina, located in Castellina in Chianti, near Siena extends to 33 hectares of vineyards, at 370 metres above sea level on the hills of a natural amphitheatre, with a terrain comprising calcareous marls, galestro, and stones. The total production is around 250,000 bottles a year of red and white wines. From the beginning a census of the vines envisaged the existence of several old plants of Sangioveto, a noble native version of Sangiovese that was planted in Castellina area at the end of 19th century. The philosophy of Castellare is to focus of Sangiovese’s potential and to promote the authentic Chianti Classico style through a loyalty to the autochthonous vine species: Sangioveto combined with small amounts of Canaiolo, Colorino and Malvasia Nera, respecting the authentic tradition of the Chianti’s terroir.

The most important expression of Castellare is I Sodi di San Niccolò: the highest selection of a single vineyard planted with mostly Sangioveto and few vines of Malvasia Nera. It is the proof that the native varieties of the area may give a wine with the highest international standards, a great wine with a real Tuscan personality and the capability to compete with many other Super Tuscans.
