Tasting Notes

The Chianti Classico 2023 reveals great freshness in the glass, with soft and velvety tannins.

Castellare’s Chianti Classico is a very versatile wine that pairs well with flavorful dishes such as pasta with ragù, aged cheeses, meat stews, roasts, and the classic Florentine steak, a tribute to Tuscan tradition. In particular, it often accompanies delicious game dishes on Chianti tables, such as Pici with white hare ragù and wood pigeon cacciatora.

Winemaker's Notes

The 2023 vintage of Castellare di Castellina’s Chianti Classico is ready for tasting. Made exclusively from indigenous grape varieties, Sangiovese (90%) and Canaiolo (10%), Castellare’s Chianti Classico is produced according to the best Chianti traditions, without the addition of international varieties. It is an authentic wine that tells the story of the territory with class and elegance. As every year, a new little bird appears on the label, symbolizing Castellare’s commitment to protecting biodiversity through sustainable viticulture.

On the 2023 vintage, the Great Tit graces the label. This colorful bird is famous for its melodious song and loves to nest in trees near the vineyards. The Great Tit is fond of grape berries and flits between the rows during harvest time, feeding on the grapes that fall to the ground. It also enjoys berries and insects found among the vines. It is easily recognizable by its bright yellow underbelly, marked with a black stripe.

Blend: 90% Sangioveto, 10% Canaiolo
