Rocca di Castagnoli
Toscano, Italy /
montecastelli.com
Located in the Gaiole district with vast extensions of vineyard land into the Castellina district of the Chianti
Classico, Rocca di Castagnoli may be the Classico's largest estate in acreage planted to vine. This does not
hinder the thriving estate to produce some of the most distinguished examples of Chianti Classico. By bottling
only the very best from their production, results of great typical character have been achieved. Also
contributing to this character is clearly the soil - 'Galestro' is a stone look alike compacted form of clay which
captured high amounts of minerals. This estate represents the rare quest for classical, acidity driven, but ripe
Chianti Classico from higher altitude vineyards. |
