About Castellare di Castellina

In the town of Castellina, one of Chiantis best locales, Castellares vineyards are at 1200 feet elevation only a few Chianti Classico vineyards are higher. The vineyards of this 46-acre property are found in a natural amphitheater in the heart of the Classico region. At Castellare, the yield-per-acre is very low, far lower than the maximum level allowed by Chianti Classico DOCG rules, which enhances the concentration of aromas and flavors.
