For some reason Castellare seems to fly beneath most people's radar screens, but the wines are often outstanding, particularly in the case of the estate's top wine, I Sodi di San Niccolò, a 100% Sangioveto (Sangiovese) which in top vintages is capable of two decades of aging.

Don't make the mistake of calling it sangiovese here: owner Paolo Panerai proudly refers to the variety as "sangioveto," its ancient name, in an effort to differentiate it from other lesser sangiovese sub-varieties such as the one grown in Emilia-Romagna. Besides their sangioveto, this estate can count on the malvasia nera vineyard of S. Niccolo, with grapes of such high quality that even back in the early '80s it was necessary to include them in their Sodi di S. Niccolo Super-Tuscan. Few people know that if Castellare has always believed in the native Italian varieties and specific vineyard denominations, much of this is due to Emile Peynaud, who visited here often and spurred Panerai to a better understanding of sangiovese by starting an experimental vineyard of many different clones. "I remember Peynaud saying that in France they had been studying cabernet and merlot for hundreds of years, while we didn't know anything about our main variety," Panerai told me. "So that got me thinking. He was right, of course." Also recommended: Vin Santo del Chianti Classico (87).
