A bright ruby red in color, this Chianti Classico shows well-integrated aromas of tart red cherries, tobacco, sunbaked earth, and a hint of cedar spice. On the palate, firm structure and refreshing acidity make it a very versatile food wine.

Located in the Chianti Classico commune of Castellina, this Castellare offering is comprised primarily of the local Sangiovese grape, Sangioveto. Research begun in the late 1970s allowed Castellare to isolate this clone and enabled the winery to make this very unique style of a Tuscan classic.

An intense red, with saturated black cherry and blackberry fruit framed by menthol and tar aromas and flavors. Firmly structured and balanced, in its youthful way, with excellent length. A little aeration helps, so decant now. Sangioveto and Canaiolo. Drink now through 2030.

Snappy sour-cherry flavors are infused with tangy acidity and bright notes of orange peel in this light and lively wine. It’s pure and uncomplicated, priced to pour by the glass or buy by the case.
