Fattoria Casaloste
Tuscany, Italy
back to the listing
Casaloste is located towards the South of the Classico zone in the village of Panzano. The estate measures 19.5 hectares, of which 10 are planted to vineyards, the rest mostly to olives. Owned by Giovanni Batista d'Orsi, a qualified oenologist and agronomist, the vineyards here are organically farmed and certified by ICEA, an Italian organic farming guild. This philosophy extends to the winemaking also, where care and gentle handling are the watchwords as Giovanni believes his wines are 'essentially alive and like all living things need love to survive'. Only French oak is used for ageing and yields are very low here. The Chiantis are all 100% Sangiovese, with the Don Vincenzo Riserva being amongst the finest wines of the region. |
