The origin of Vino Nobile goes back to the 17th century, when it was defined «The King of Tuscan Wines» (Francesco Redi, Bacco in Toscana). Doubtlessly drunk and appreciated by aristocrats and gentlemen (hence its name) this wine has transcended its fame to modern times. In the last 15 years (it was given the D.O.C.G. in 1980), Castellani took part to the renewal of the excellence of this wine, thanks to increased financial energies and up-dated philosophy. The improved vineyard management and modernization in the cellars have elevated the quality level of our Vino Nobile. Today it is considered one of the most prestigious red Italian wines.
This Vino Nobile is produced and refined in the heart of the production area, between Val D’Orcia and Valdichiana, from vineyards situated in a countryside rich in monuments, villas and country homes.After a minimum ageing period of 24 months in traditional Tuscan casks, it is refined in bottle for some months. Thanks to its character, it is also a wine with ageing potential.
Ruby red colour tending to garnet with ageing. Characteristic bouquet, delicate with notes of violets and typical aromas of tobacco and leather. Great tannins on the palate, dry and harmonious.
Ideal with all Mediterranean dishes, roast, game meat and spicy cheese.Serve at room temperature.
