ABOUT THIS WINE
Casisano Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2023 is produced by Casisano, owned by Tommasi Family Estates, in the renowned Montalcino region of Tuscany, Italy. This wine is a pure expression of Sangiovese Grosso, grown in the estate's high-altitude vineyards at 480 meters. The unique terroir, characterized by stony soils and galestro, along with the well-ventilated conditions, contributes to the wine's refined character. The 2023 vintage faced a challenging growing season, marked by variable weather, but careful viticulture resulted in grapes that are expected to yield elegant wines with vibrant aromas. Casisano's philosophy centers on respecting the traditions of Montalcino and faithfully representing the estate's unique terroir, a concept they term 'Elegance of Altitude'.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Casisano Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2023 begins with the harvest of 100% Sangiovese Grosso grapes from the estate's high-altitude vineyards. A traditional maceration process on the skins lasts for approximately 12-15 days, with fermentation taking place at controlled temperatures to manage extraction and preserve aromatics. Post-fermentation, the wine matures for 8 months in large Slavonian oak casks, a method that allows for gradual integration and softening of tannins. A minimum of 6 months of bottle aging follows before the wine is released, ensuring it is ready for enjoyment while retaining freshness.
