Castellare di Castellina Description
Intense red with hints of garnet. Deeply sophisticated and showcasing its full pedigree in terms of both the bouquet and palate of the wine. The fruit quality is exceptional and each individual aroma can be distinguished with total clarity, from the cherry to the spices, whose focus and integration are exceptional.
James Suckling: 95 Points
A vibrant, balanced and fresh red with raspberries, pomegranates, cherry stones and spice box on the nose. Sleek, tight tannins. Focused, with a very fine structure and wound-up energy. Sangiovese and malvasia nera. Try after 2023.
Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
This wine has a restrained nose that nonetheless shows notes of oak, vanilla and spice before cherry, herbs, topsoil and finally a bit of coffee and chocolate emerge. The palate remains indulgent, with cherry, orange peel, milk chocolate and a metallic peppery note of black olives. It's lush but balanced, with tannins that rumble quietly.
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
This is marked by new oak initially, then the plum and cherry flavors shine through. Vibrant, with leather and earth elements joining in before the oak spice and tannins frame the finish. Fresh and complex, with a lot going on -- just needs time. Sangioveto and Malvasia Nera. Best from 2024 through 2042. 2,500 cases made, 800 cases imported.
