Poggio ai Merli Merlot Toscana IGT Poggio ai Merli is made entirely from Merlot, and named after the single vineyard from which it is produced. Located in the heart of Chianti Classico, grapes are imbued with all the terroir-driven characteristics of Tuscany’s most famous viticultural area. This wine embodies Castellare’s innovation by producing international varietals in an area world-famous for Sangiovese.

S. Niccolò Vin Santo del Chianti Classico DOC Made from 60% Malvasia and 40% Trebbiano, the grapes used in the wine are harvested from various estate vineyards in Castellina. After harvest, the grapes are dried and fermentation is carried out slowly in small barrels known as caratelli . The wine is then aged in these barrels for an additional five years.
