With no room to expand within the Classico zone, Castellare di Castellina did what any respected Chianti producer would do; move west to the Maremma. In doing so, Castellare partnered with no less than Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and created the Rocca di Frassinello line. Sangioveto-based and barrique-aged, Le Sughere is un instant Toscan classique.
