Podere Monastero La Pineta Pinot Nero 2023

The renowned winemaker Alessandro Cellai, known for his work at Castellare and Rocca di Frassinello, is realizing his own dream on the small 3-hectare estate of Podere Monastero. Located in Castellina, in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, he cultivates the grape varieties Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and, somewhat atypical for Tuscany, Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir). From these grapes, he crafts only two wines - the single-varietal "La Pineta" (Pinot Nero) and the blend "Campanaio" (Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot). These are two exceptional wines with a lot to offer.
