In Greve in Chianti, the Castiglioni family produces what we can only describe as outstanding wines. The Biodynamic principles used are well in excess of the recognised European standard. The Batar stands comparison with the finest Batard Montrachet, whilst the Camartina shows more than a resemblance to Grand Cru Classé Bordeaux. Wines for the most special of occasions.
