Food Pairing Suggestions

Here are a few serving suggestions and pairing ideas to help you get the most from this red wine, whether you’re enjoying it with food or simply savouring it on its own.

Spaghetti Bolognese with slow-cooked beef and tomato sauce is a superb match because the wine's bright cherry fruit complements the acidity of the tomatoes while its soft tannins support the richness of the meat. The subtle spice adds another layer of flavour to the pairing.

Mature Pecorino with rosemary crackers creates a rewarding combination. The savoury character of the cheese enhances the wine's plum and bramble notes, while the acidity keeps the palate refreshed between bites.

Meet The Wine Producer Behind The Bottle

A brief look at the producer’s heritage and winemaking approach.

Castellani

With more than 120 years of winemaking history, Famiglia Castellani is an established Tuscan wine business headquartered in Pontedera, close to Pisa. The company was officially founded in 1903, following Alfredo Castellani's decision to bottle and sell wine from the family's vineyards. Successive generations expanded the estate holdings and developed overseas markets. The business remains family-run, with Piergiorgio Castellani overseeing its six estates and younger family members contributing to its continued development.

Across Tuscany, the family farms over 300 hectares of vineyards, spanning the Pisan Hills, Radda in Chianti and the coastal areas. Each estate has its own characteristics, from the limestone-rich soils of Montefoscoli and the sandy ground of Poggio al Casone to the varied marine-origin soils of Burchino. At Campomaggio in Chianti Classico, higher-altitude vineyards and cooler conditions favour the slow ripening of Sangiovese, while the coastal estates offer suitable conditions for varieties including Vermentino. The portfolio also features classic Tuscan wines such as Chianti, Chianti Classico, Vernaccia di San Gimignano and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.

The producer invests in vineyard research, soil analysis and modern cellar equipment to understand the influence of each site. Organic farming is practised at selected estates, including Montefoscoli and Poggio al Casone. Winemaking combines this technical approach with traditional Tuscan knowledge, allowing the individual character of the vineyards and grape varieties to guide the finished wines.
