Castellina in Chianti

19 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.

In the Sienese hills, the small community of Castellina in Chianti, home to fewer than 2,600 residents, provides the high-altitude terrain essential for legendary viticulture and olive growing. This specific terroir shapes 19 protected denominations, led by the prestigious Chianti Classico DOCG, a wine restricted to a zone of just 7 municipalities, and the fragrant Chianti Classico DOP olive oil. Here, 49 verified local producers craft these ancestral specialties, with 34 of these estates opening their gates to travelers seeking to taste structured Sangiovese and peppery oils directly at their source.
