Casisano Rosso di Montalcino, DOCG Tuscany, Italy 2020

ESTATE
The Podere Casisano is located in the heart of Montalcino, surrounded by spectacularly beautiful vineyards and majestic olive trees. It was first founded in 1990 and subsequently purchased by the Tommasi family of Amarone fame in 2015 to become part of the Tommasi Family Estates, a project that began in 1997 with the fourth generation of the Tommasi family at the helm. Their objective has always been to highlight and showcase the quality and diversity of Italian wines from all over Italy.

WINE
The Casisano Rosso di Montalcino is a red-fruited, traditional Sangiovese that comes from vineyards nestled in the southern hills of one of Italy’s most renowned wine producing areas, located in the heart of Montalcino midway between the towns of Sant’Angelo in Colle and Castelnuovo dell’Abate. The wine is a classic expression
of Sangiovese Grosso, the Sangiovese clone used to make both Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino.

TASTING NOTE
Deep ruby red, but nicely transparent. It has a complex bouquet that is reminiscent of violets, plums and red berry fruits, combined with delicate spicy hints. It is dry on the palate, with an attractive balance between its tannins and acidity. The finish is fresh and persistent.

FOOD PAIRING
Perfect with pasta in meat sauce, roasted and grilled meats. A classic pairing for a charcuterie board featuring traditional Tuscan cheeses and cured meats.
