DAVIDE BOTTAI REPRESENTS THE FOURTH GENERATION OF WINEMAKERS AT HIS FAMILY’S WINERY, CASTELLACCIO. FOR DECADES, THEIR CHIANTI CLASSICO HAS BEEN DEFINED BY ALTITUDE. DAVIDE’S VINEYARDS, SITUATED BETWEEN 500 AND 700 METERS, BETWEEN LAMOLE AND LUCOLENA, ARE AMONG THE HIGHEST IN THE APPELLATION AND, IN FACT, CASTELLACCIO OWNS THE SINGLE HIGHEST VINEYARD IN ALL OF CHIANTI CLASSICO. DAVIDE’S WORK BRINGS TOGETHER FAMILY TRADITION AND A CONTEMPORARY VISION: SPONTANEOUS FERMENTATIONS, NO FINING, MINIMAL INTERVENTION, AN OBSESSION WITH GRAPE SELECTION, AND A PURSUIT OF THE COMPLETE INTEGRITY OF THE FRUIT.
