Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG Castellare di Castellina

Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG by Castellare di Castellina is a prestigious wine produced in the Chianti Classico area, located between the provinces of Florence and Siena in Tuscany. This area is characterized by a unique terroir, with undulating hills, limestone soils and a Mediterranean climate conducive to growing grapes. The vineyards of Castellare di Castellina are located at an altitude between 370 and 510 meters above sea level, and are predominantly southwest facing, thus enjoying excellent sun exposure. The grapes used for the production of Chianti Classico Riserva are mainly Sangiovese, with small additions of varieties such as Canaiolo and Colorino, which add complexity to the wine. The production process begins with manual harvesting of the grapes, followed by traditional vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine is transferred to oak barrels of various sizes for aging, which can last at least 24 months, as required for the Riserva category. During this period, the wine gains aromatic complexity and structure, integrating tannins and developing notes of ripe fruit, spices and underbrush. Chianti Classico Riserva from Castellare di Castellina is a wine that stands out for its elegance, balance and ability to age. It is perfect to pair with traditional Tuscan dishes such as bistecca alla fiorentina, ribollita or aged cheeses, but it can also be enjoyed on its own, perhaps in the company of a fine Tuscan evening.
