Tasting Notes
The grapes for this wine come from 25 year old vineyards that are organic. Fermentation starts in steel tanks with the grapes natural yeasts and following this, it is aged in 20hl French oak barrels for 6 months and a further 6 months back into steel. Captivating floral and red fruit aromas, with hints of spice. The palate is round and smooth with well integrated tannins. Discreet structure and lovely freshness on the finish.

Food
Excellent with appetizers such as cured meats, or with ragu based pasta dishes.

Region
In the heart of central Italy, Tuscany is one of the most prestigious and celebrated wine growing regions in the world. These gentle rolling hills are not only home to Italy`s culture and language, but also to the grand wine estates of Chianti to the north and the more modest yet superb estates of Montalcino and Montepulciano in the south. Sangiovese is the red grape variety that unites Tuscany`s wine producing districts in its various distinct clones. However, planting of international grape varieties, such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, have given rise to the world renowned `Super Tuscan` wines.

Producer
Tenuta Casadei is located in Alta Maremma, near Suvereto which is 13km from the coast. The estate and winery were established in 2000 by Stefano Casadei. His goal was to grow vines with respect for the environment and create unique, authentic wines. Stefano met Fred Cline who shared his values of environmental care and who drove the `bio integrale` idea for the estate developing sustainable agriculture and biodynamic techniques. Stefano`s daughter Elena Casadei is now involved with the winemaking and started integrating amphorae into production, with the aim of keeping these ancient winemaking tools in the modern era.
