Castello di Cacchiano Wine Dinner

An unforgettable night of Tuscan wine & food!

The wines “Castello di Cacchiano” are produced by the vinification of the best grapes originating exclusively from the vineyards owned by the farm. The bottling is carried out solely in the farm.

The production area is the tableland of Monti in Chianti. The vineyards are situated at an altitude that ranges from 380 to 420 m (1,247 – 1,312 feet) above sea level. Most of them have a southern exposure.

The soil composition, which is made of calcareous clay with substantial portions of crumbled limestone and sandstone, represents an excellent substratum for the cultivation of vines. Thanks to the soil and to the ideal microclimate the vines are able to develop their potential at best.

They grow mostly Sangiovese but also Canaiolo, Colorino, black Malvasia, Tuscan white Malvasia and Merlot (for the “IGT Toscana wines”).

The main vineyards have a plantation density ranging from 3.300 to 5.580 trees per hectare. A small vineyard on the top of the hill where the Castle is situated has a density of 9.200 trees per hectare.

The dinner will consist of six courses, intentionally created by Chef Sergio in collaboration with the winery.
