Specialità Regionali e prodotti tipici - Salumificio Mena - Domini di Castellare di Castellina

Giuseppe Serra and his son founded the Salumificio Mena in the town of Nicastro, in the region of Calabria. Initially it was one of the first small companies where traditional Calabrian cured meat was produced with techniques passed down from one generation to another. Today the family's sons Fernando, Vincenzo, Sergio and Oscar are carrying on their dad and grandad's work. Great attention is given to the selection of the meat, the mixture of natural aromas together with pepper preserve and also to the slow curing technique, and these features all combine to make these products stand out for their incredibly high quality.

Domini di Castellare di Castellina is a project created by Paolo Panerai and the Baron Domanin from Roshchild-Lafite who started to work together to produce extraordinary wines. The oldest winery in the group is Castellare di Castellina, a beautiful estate in the heart of the Chianti Classico area, which is made up of 80 hectares and has been producing incredible wines for 30 years. Rocca di Frassinello in the Maremma is a 500-hectare estate, designed by the worldwide known architect Renzo Piano. 90 of those hectares are planted with vines and the aim is to combine Castellare's experience on wine-growing and wine-making of Sangiovese and the French knowledge about the international grape varieties. Last estate to join the Domini di Castellare di Castellina is Feudi del Pisciotto in Sicily. It is a 33-hectare estate planted since 2002 at an elevation of 250 asl and 6 km far from the sea. Planted grapes are Nero d'Avola and other international varieties, both red and white ones.
