Description
Giuseppe Castiglioni bought a single hectare of vineyard in Tuscany in 1974. His dream was to make elegant and rich wines from the native Sangiovese grapes among others. His son would convert the estate to organic viticulture in 1988. The estate now spans over 100 hectares of vineyards with their commitment to continue creating extraordinary wines.  With over 74 hectares of Chianti Classico vineyards and 32 hectares in Maremma on Tuscany's southern coast, they represent the largest extension of certified organic vineyards in Italy. Each site is surrounded by oak forests and olive groves whose presence adds biodiversity and protects against cross-contamination from conventional farms.  Grapes are harvested by hand in 9kg crates.  16 months maturation in fine to extra-fine grained oak barriques and tonneaux of which to 20% is new.
Taste

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and powerful and enriched with rosemary notes. Well-integrated tannins, great texture and excellent freshness. Very long finish with a hint of iron.
