2016 · Chianti Classico

Rocca di Castagnoli is a historic, family-owned Chianti Classico estate in Tuscany, run by the Cali family and associated with the Chianti Classico Wine Consortium since 1924. With roots linked to the Tempi and Ricasoli noble families, it combines a long-established identity with certified organic farming. The estate includes roughly 100 hectares of vineyards, planted at about 5,000 vines per hectare, and produces wines under labels including Molino delle Balze, a small parcel yielding around 10,000 bottles annually. Its wines reflect the estate’s Chianti Classico setting and organically managed vineyards.
