The bouquet releases aromas of red fruit, currant and liquorice, dominated by an \u003cstrong\u003eintense hint of violet\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the palate, it is dry and balanced, characterised by \u003cstrong\u003evelvety tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and a pleasant freshness.

The vineyards rest on \u003cstrong\u003elimestone soil\u003c\/strong\u003e at an altitude between 350 and 400 metres above sea level. The double Guyot training system and \u003cstrong\u003elow yields\u003c\/strong\u003e ensure clusters of excellent ripeness. These precise pedoclimatic conditions enhance the true \u003cstrong\u003eidentity of the territory\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the wine clear aromas, vibrant acidity and a structure ideal for supporting significant ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the harvest and careful selection of the grapes, \u003cstrong\u003efermentation in stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e preserves the clarity of the fruit. Maturation continues for fifteen months in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, enriching the flavour profile with softness. A further \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e of another fifteen months defines the perfect integration between structure and tannin. By using only native varieties, a dry and persistent profile is achieved, best appreciated after an hour of decanting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1977, the \u003cstrong\u003eChianti Classico Riserva\u003c\/strong\u003e from Castellare celebrates the authentic Tuscan terroir through the exclusive use of native grape varieties, such as Sangiovese and Canaiolo.
