Vin Santo del Chianti Classico DOCCastellare di Castellina, Tasting notes:
Vibrant amber colour. The nose is bursting with dried fruit, honey, caramel and candied fruit. On the palate it is broad and enveloping, leaving a sensation of chestnut flour and a long, pleasant finish.
Vin Santo del Chianti Classico DOC
Neither too dry nor too sweet. Produced in strict accordance with tradition, but with Malvasia Bianca and a small amount of Trebbiano grapes dried out in an aired area and not on “cannicci” (special wicker surfaces). And then in half-barriques with 20 to 30 year old deposits (“madri”). There’s never enough.
Castellare di Castellina
The producer, the very famous and renowned company Castellare di Castellina is in fact one of the most historic, working to defend these centuries-old traditions. Castellare di Castellina was born from the union of four farms. Those were the 70’s when the so-called Renaissance of the Italian wine had begun. A Renaissance to which Castellare was able to give its own contribution, keeping together tradition and innovation.
