The story

The story behind Castelio

Castelio is a commercial label, not a single estate, and that is exactly the point. The grapes come from the classic Italian regions: Veneto for Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, Abruzzo for Montepulciano, Tuscany for Chianti. Vinification is conventional and regional, so the Chianti follows the blended parameters Italian appellation law requires and the Cabernet sees standard oak for vanilla and spice.

We have stacked these bottles on Jericho Turnpike for decades because they behave like house wine should. Typical alcohol runs 12.5% to 13.5%, the reds are dry with traditional Italian acidity, and the 1.5L formats keep a table full without a second trip to the shelf. No trophies on record, no critical scores, just honest everyday pours meant to be drunk within one to three years.

Good to know

Castelio questions, answered

Is Castelio Italian Red a sweet or dry wine?
Castelio red wines are dry. The Chianti, Montepulciano and Cabernet Sauvignon are vinified dry with traditional Italian acidity and smooth tannins, so you get savory fruit rather than sweetness in the glass.
Where can I buy Castelio wines in the US?
Castelio is sold through independent regional wine and spirits shops rather than high-end cellars. We stock it in Commack, and you can buy Castelio online here for free curbside pickup or local delivery across Nassau and Suffolk.
What is the difference between Castelio Montepulciano and Castelio Chianti?
Montepulciano is made from Montepulciano grapes grown in Abruzzo, giving deeper dark fruit and spice. Chianti comes from Tuscany and is mostly Sangiovese, so it shows higher natural acidity and brighter red cherry notes.
Does Castelio make white wine?
Yes. Beyond the reds, Castelio produces a Pinot Grigio from Veneto and a Chardonnay, both in 750mL and 1.5L formats. Both are dry, light to medium bodied and priced in the same value tier as the reds.
Are Castelio wines meant for long-term aging?
No. These are everyday table wines built for immediate drinking, best enjoyed within one to three years of the vintage. Our delivery runs same-day or next-day across Nassau and Suffolk, with free pickup in Commack.
