WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for Casasilia are organically grown and hand-harvested with meticulous selection. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for approximately 18 months in barriques (oak casks) and then undergoes at least 12 months of bottle aging before release. This process is guided by a philosophy focused on organic practices and expressing the authentic character of the Tuscan terroir.
