Castagnini, Carrara, Tuscany
Founded in the early 2000s by Roberto Castagnini, who grew up in his grandfather’s vineyards, this boutique winery embodies the spirit of the vignaioli carrarini — independent winegrowers who work the steep terraces of the Candia hills. Roberto left the family grocery and butcher business to dedicate himself fully to wine, rebuilding forgotten terraces and crafting wines that reflect sea breeze, marble dust, and mountain light.
