Vigna di Poggiale Chianti Classico 1995 Castellare di Castellina

Castellare di Castellina was born from the union of four farms (Castellare, Caselle, San Niccolò and Le Case) on the initiative of Paolo Panerai in the 1970s, during the so-called Renaissance of Italian wine. Castellare’s objective is to produce wine of the highest quality, maintaining a balance between tradition and innovation: tradition in the care of the vineyards and land, choice of production according to the Tuscan government method, respect for the Chianti Classico and use of native vines; innovation with the creation of the first experimental Chianti vineyard, the scientific selection of Sangiovese clones (Sangioveto) and the introduction of barrique on the advice of the oenologist Emile Peynaud. The history of Castellare testifies to the importance of the work and life of the Mezzadri, who contributed to creating the Chianti landscape, dedicating a sculpture by Matteo Spender to them in Castellina
