Rocca di Castagnoli is a family-owned winery with a rich history and an excellent reputation for Chianti Classico. The Gaiole estate was owned by numerous noble families, including Tempi (whose coat of arms still represents the company) and Ricasoli. It was a medieval fortress during the Middle Ages and was the origin of the Castagnoli hamlet. In 1924, Rocca di Castagnoli became part of the farms that form the Chianti Classico Wine Consortium.

James Suckling, October 2020


Lots of vivid raspberry, blueberry and currant aromas and flavors to this. Really pure fruit. It’s medium-bodied with soft, silky tannins and a fruity finish. Really well done, as always. Drink or hold.

Vinous, September 2021


Rocca di Castagnoli's 2019 Chianti Classico is supple, racy and wonderfully inviting. Succulent red cherry, tobacco, mint, dried flowers and licorice are some of the many aromas and flavors that open in the glass. Silky and pliant, with terrific depth, the 2017 has a lot to recommend it. This is very nicely done.

About ROCCA DI CASTAGNOLI

ROCCA DI CASTAGNOLI

The Cali family purchased the Rocca di Castagnoli estate in 1981 and immediately started renovations. Located in the commune of Gaiole in Chianti, 227 acres of the 2100 are planted to mostly Sangiovese and mostly on the famous galestro soils. Organic farming started in 2012 and certified since 2017. The goal is to make wines that speak of place and time and walk the fine line between traditional and modern Chianti Classico wines.
