It combines expressive fruit character with soft tannins and a harmonious structure, making it an approachable yet full-bodied choice for everyday lunches and dinners.

The company owns 250 hectares of land in the Chianti Classico area and other prestigious Tuscan vineyards, including the Pisan Hills. Wineries are located in each production region, allowing immediate processing of harvested grapes. For more than ten years, Castellani vineyards have been environmentally friendly, using no insecticides, pesticides, GMOs, or other chemicals harmful to nature or human health.
