Castellinuzza
Castellinuzza produces Sangiovese-based wines from Chianti, the storied region of central Tuscany. The winery's portfolio centers on expressions of Chianti Classico across three tiers: the entry-level Chianti Classico, the Riserva, and the Gran Selezione. Sangiovese, Chianti's defining grape, brings structure, acidity, and earthy red-fruit character—qualities that define the region's identity. Castellinuzza's Gran Selezione Chianti Classico represents the top expression, followed by the Riserva and the standard Chianti Classico. The wines have been assessed by major critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Wine Enthusiast. The Gran Selezione achieved an average prestige rating of 91.5, the Riserva 89.3, and the Chianti Classico 87.7. These ratings reflect the winery's consistent engagement with critical evaluation across its range.
