From Sangiovese vines over 30 years old comes the Chianti Classico Torre Alta, a wine whose name evokes the iconic tower of the Castellare winery, but above all, it represents the desire to rise and pursue excellence. The vineyards are located in a privileged position at an altitude of 450-510 meters, with perfect exposure. The Chianti Classico Torre Alta is a wine that looks forward to achieving ambitious goals while respecting the territory and the Tuscan tradition.

Tasting notes: ruby red in color, Torre Alta is fragrant and fresh on the nose, with pleasant notes of red fruit, licorice, currant, and a hint of vanilla—typical characteristics of Chianti Sangiovese. On the palate, it is round, soft, and savory, revealing a delightful sweetness. Its acidity and persistence define a very appealing finish.

Pairings: a Chianti Classico with good structure and longevity, yet it proves to be very versatile. It is ideal for pairing with stews, first and second courses of red meat and game, as well as medium-aged cheeses.
