About the Producer:
The quality of the wines at Castellare di Castellina comes from the vineyard not the lowest floor. Therefore, Paolo Panerai (owner) chose the sangionese clone though old, the sangioveto, and some other varieties that were autochthonous. The altitude used to plant the vines is up to 400 metres above sea level. The soils are calcareous in nature. The area has steep slopes which means that the work on the vineyards must be completed by hand. The soil quality and the location give the wines their full character high aging potential, and the most beautiful structure. The vinification is handled by Alessandro cellai. This is a respected oenologist who produces traditional chianti by applying modern methods.
Paulo Panerai embraced sustainability early. Because of this, he was able to establish a nature reserve on this property where herbicides, fertilisers, and chemical pesticides are forbidden. Today, the biotype has rare species of birds living there. The vintage wines regularly show some of the bird species.
