Podere Castellinuzza

Sangiovese-focused Chianti Classico from central Tuscany's heartland.

Podere Castellinuzza sits in Chianti Classico, the heart of Tuscany's most prestigious wine zone. The winery focuses on Sangiovese-based wines, the region's defining variety—a grape that yields wines of structure, acidity, and earthy depth. The Gran Selezione Chianti Classico, pure Sangiovese, represents the top tier of the appellation's classification system. Below it, the Chianti Classico Riserva blends Sangiovese with Canaiolo Nero, a traditional Tuscan pairing that softens the primary grape's tannins. The entry-level Chianti Classico follows the same blend. All three have been assessed by major critics including Wine Advocate, Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast, anchoring the winery within the broader conversation around contemporary Chianti quality.
