Rocca Di Castagnoli, ‘Chianti Classico’ 2019

The Village of Castagnoli lies in the heart of Chianti, a region whose beauty is almost impossible to describe, arguably one of the highest elevations in the district. The fortress is located on top of the hill, nestled among vineyards, olive trees and rows of cypress trees. The property owns over 800 hectares with only 75 planted.

“Castagnoli honed their wines by conducting a very extensive research across 134 Sangiovese clones, from those selecting 19, and finally working with the best 4. Among these 4, one was officially recognised and ratified by decree and called RDC, an honour befitting the calibre of this winery. Consequently, Castagnoli produces Sangiovese and Chianti Classico with their own Clones. A traditional Tuscan producer, using a classic approach with precise winemaking and terrific fruit quality.”
