'Le Ginestre' from Castellare di Castellina is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay grapes cultivated in vineyards situated between 350 and 400 meters above sea level.

THE WINE
'Le Ginestre' of Castellare di Castellina is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay grapes grown in vineyards located between 350 and 400 meters above sea level. Fermentation and maturation in contact with noble lees are carried out in French oak barrels. A very pleasant wine to drink, where the depth of Chardonnay and the aromas of Sauvignon Blanc merge into a delicate and savory whole at the same time. Classic with fish and shellfish, interesting with white meats, perfect also in combination with typical Tuscan cured meats, which it manages to cleanse the fattiness and harmonize the aromas.
THE COMPANY
A historic company in Chianti Classico, Castellare di Castellina was established in its current form in 1968 thanks to the merger of 5 different estates. A magical place where the vineyards, totaling 33 hectares, are perfectly integrated into the environment, among woods and other crops. An area where excellent exposure, good water drainage, mixed soils of limestone marl, galestro, and little clay have always produced well-structured, intense wines that are suitable for long aging in the bottle. The winery has been owned by entrepreneur Paolo Panerai since the late 1970s, who immediately began a long research journey aimed at improving all its labels. A careful inventory of the vines, undertaken right after the purchase, has for example allowed the selection of the best species of Sangiovese for the Sodi di San Niccolò, the symbol wine of the company. Not only that: an experimental plot planted on the property in collaboration with the University of Milan and Florence and the Institute of San Michele in Adige allows for continuous research on the best clones as well as the production of selected vines for the renewal of the vineyards. The world of Castellare di Castellina has grown over time; in fact, in 2004, in partnership with Les Domaines Baron de Rothschild-Lafite, Rocca di Frassinello was born, in the heart of Maremma. A splendid estate along the Tuscan coast where the best of Italy and France meet; a place where Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Shiraz find a home in perfect harmony, leading to the creation of wines of undeniable charm, intensity, and elegance. Reds that immediately appeal to an extremely heterogeneous audience, and whose project is completed with the construction of the new winery, a project by Renzo Piano. However, Paolo Panerai's adventure in the world of wine does not stop at Tuscany alone. It is in Sicily that Feudi del Pisciotto and Gurra di Mare were later born. The former is located between Caltagirone and Piazza Armerina: about forty hectares of vineyards cultivated mainly with Nero d’Avola for a winery characterized by the historic palmento, where wine was already made in the times of the Greeks and Romans. The latter is near Porto Palo, the ancient port of Selinunte, in one of the richest historical areas of all of Sicily, a place that produces warm and compelling white wines.
