The vision of Castello di Paneretta is rooted in a clear and conscious choice: to cultivate and vinify exclusively Sangiovese and Canaiolo Nero. This is not merely an expression of fidelity to tradition, but a profound act of respect for the land. These varieties are the result of internal selections begun many generations ago—a genetic heritage carefully preserved over time and passed down through the estate’s oldest vineyards.
The true heart of the estate lies in these historic vineyards, planted at medium to high density, which withstood the challenging years of vineyard restructuring in Tuscany during the 1960s and 1970s. While elsewhere grape varieties and training systems were being replaced, Paneretta chose to preserve what already existed, keeping a unique patrimony alive. For this reason, all genetic material used in both vineyard and cellar comes exclusively from indigenous clones, capable of authentically reflecting the character of the soils and of each individual parcel.
