From this winery
  • Start up year: 1977
  • Oenologist: Alessandro Cellai
  • Bottles produced: 350.000
  • Hectares: 33
Castellare di Castellina was born of the union of four estates (Castellare, Caselle, San Niccolò and Le Case) on the initiative of Paolo Panerai, with the aim of producing wine of the best possible quality. This is a story that demonstrates how tradition, also in the installations, and innovation can draw the best out of the land, showing the younger generations how the hard work and lives of the Mezzadri - the people who once ran the estates as neither owners nor labourers - has been fundamental in shaping the extraordinary landscape of the Chianti.

The red wine I Sodi di S.Niccolò Toscana IGT, vintage 2021, from the Castellare di Castellina winery was rated 99 Falstaff points in 2025 by Othmar Kiem and Simon Staffler. It is a wine made from Sangiovese and Malvasia Nera grapes from the Chianti Classico region of Italy. Read more
