Castellare di Castellina

The winery Castellare di Castellina owns about 80 hectares in the heart of the Chianti Classico area, close to the village of Castellina in Chianti. Castellare di Castellina was born in 1968 from the consolidation of five farms. The gain for hectare of Castellare is very small, clearly below what the DOCG Chianti Classico regulations determine to be the maximum allowed. A good exposure to the sun, a good drain of the water, a mixed ground of calcareous marls, galestro and little clay give wines both red and white, which are very well structured, intense and proper for a long ageing in bottle.
