Chianti Classico DOCG 2021 of the renowned Castellare winery in Castellina.

This Tuscan red wine is characterised by a label that, since 1977, depicts a different bird every year to celebrate the biodiversity of the vineyards; for the 2021 vintage, the Zigolo orange head (Emberiza bruniceps) was chosen.
