Maurizio Castelli does not like fancy names. That's why he took a simple but original approach to naming the estate and its top wine: 414 – which is the number of the vineyard in the region's land register. His Morellino has become a true Italian classic with a modern interpretation. The grapes come from biodynamically farmed hills around Scansano with deep-rooted Sangiovese. The 2023 vintage was characterised by warm, sunny weather and moderate ripeness, ideal for aromatic clarity and balance. Temperature control during maceration and a subsequent maturation phase of around 12 months in large wooden barrels characterise this wine.

Vibrant ruby red with a light violet rim. The bouquet impresses with juicy raspberries, ripe cherries and freshly chopped tomatoes, accompanied by subtle notes of rosemary and thyme as well as a fine hint of liquorice. The structure is elegant: firm tannins, well-integrated acidity and juicy fruit. The finish is characterised by fresh spice and mineral length. It impresses with its regional character, freshness and precision – a wine that combines tradition and a highly appealing modernity. It is powerful, yet charming and a pleasure to drink – for us one of the absolute favourites of the region! SUPERIORE.DE
