It stands out for its medium-bodied profile and a \u003cstrong\u003efine, silky tannic structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, where elegance prevails over structural power. On the nose, it releases deep aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant and blueberry, intertwined with delicate floral notes of violet and dog rose. The bouquet is enriched by hints of sweet spices, cocoa, cedar and roasted coffee, while on the palate it is warm and velvety, offering a harmonious taste and a pleasant persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown in Castellina in Chianti, in the heart of the province of Siena, from vineyards located at an \u003cstrong\u003ealtitude of 350-400 metres\u003c\/strong\u003e above sea level. This position ensures optimal temperature variations to preserve the freshness and aromatic definition of the grapes. The terroir is characterised by \u003cstrong\u003estony soil\u003c\/strong\u003e and rocky components, essential elements to ensure ideal drainage and promote balanced ripening. In this environment, the grape variety blends harmoniously with the territorial identity of Tuscany.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manual harvest takes place towards the end of September, with a rigorous selection of bunches from vines trained using the reversed Guyot method. In the cellar, \u003cstrong\u003efermentation in stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e is followed by malolactic fermentation, necessary to soften the acidity and give balance to the structure. Maturation continues for eighteen months in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, half of which are new, and is completed with a final ageing in the cellar. The deep ruby colour introduces a dense and enveloping sip, which ends with a \u003cstrong\u003elong, fruity finish\u003c\/strong\u003e, enriched by elegant peppery nuances.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1987, the \u003cstrong\u003eConiale\u003c\/strong\u003e embodies the excellence of Castellare di Castellina, a winery founded in 1977 to combine the great Tuscan tradition with innovation. Under the guidance of oenologist Alessandro Cellai, the company brings out the best of its terroir’s elegance. The estate’s 33 hectares represent a true oasis for local wildlife, demonstrating a genuine commitment to \u003cstrong\u003esustainable viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e. This deep respect for the environment is celebrated by the illustration of a \u003cstrong\u003elittle bird on the label\u003c\/strong\u003e, an artistic detail that is renewed with each harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Castellare di Castellina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44971896832171,"sku":"55942","price":62.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/castellare-di-castellina-coniale-2021_55942_1_b3848371-35c1-424b-ac2a-43a1b72c482c.webp?v=1773761604","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-uk\/products\/castellare-di-castellina-coniale-2021","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
