Castellare di Castellina

About Winery and Wines

For 25 years it was only Castellare di Castellina. 25 years of successes with the rediscovery of the method (the Chianti wine in the straw-covered bottle) to govern the wine for the fresh and drinkable bottles, also frozen on summertime, of the Governo di Castellare; with the loyalty to the native vines for an authentic Chianti Classico wine, where the red ruby of the Sangioveto is not humiliated by the black Cabernet or, even worse, from the wines of the South; with the Chianti Classico Reserve and the Special Reserve Vigna il Poggiale always obtaining the maximum scores from the guides as well as the three glasses from Gamberorosso repeatedly; with the international vines vinified in purity: Cabernet for the bottles of Coniale and Merlot for Poggio ai Merli, which gave us the possibility to compete to the world challenge of the two most diffused vines in the world; and, again with the three glasses, Le Ginestre (Chardonnay and Sauvignon in steel), Canonico (from the strong character of Chardonnay, vinified in barrique) and Spartito (Sauvignon vinified in barrique as well); the Vinsanto S. Niccolò, well done, without the ladle, neither too much dry neither too sweet; and last, the masterpiece, the great I Sodi di S. Niccolò, glorification of Sangioveto and black Malvasia (10%), twice in the 100 Top classification of Wine Spectator, the proof that Sangioveto vine may compete with all the best vines of the world.
