Winery Description:

Castello della Paneretta is a historic Tuscan winery established in 1596 around a medieval watchtower near Barberino Tavarnelle.

The estate’s 22 hectares of vineyards thrive on galestro soils, growing Sangiovese alongside Canaiolo and Colorino, traditional Chianti Classico grapes.

The winery crafts elegant, balanced wines with complex aromas of sour cherry and wild berries, using hand-picked grapes fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.

Guests can stay at La Foresteria della Paneretta, a refined villa adjacent to the castle, featuring a swimming pool and private outdoor spaces.

The estate offers wine tastings, inviting visitors to experience authentic Tuscan culture and the passion behind their wines.
