In the 1970s, four estates came together to form Castellare di Castellina. Together they cover a total of 80ha, including 12 planted by olive groves. The vineyards occupy hillsides of a natural southeast-facing amphitheatre, at an average height of 370 meters above sea level. This excellent exposure to the sun, good water drainage, and a mixed soil containing limestone marl, galestro and a little clay, produce well-structured, intense red and white wines, suitable for long bottle ageing. They are traditional Tuscan producers with a very modern approach, and staunch patrons of Sangioveto (Sangiovese). They created the first experimental vineyard in Chianti, together with the University of Milan and Florence, implementing the first scientific selection of Sangioveto clones.
