Castellare di Castellina was created in 1968 from the merger of five estates. The yields per hectare at Castellare are very low, well below the maximum allowed by the Chianti Classico DOCG regulations. Excellent exposure to the sun, good water drainage and a mixed soil of calcareous marl, marl and little clay give wines, both red and white, very well structured, intense and suitable for long ageing in the bottle.
