Tommasi - Casisano Rosso 2015
Wine
The Podere Casisano stands in a beautiful setting among the silent hills of Montalcino, surrounded by vineyards and woods. It was first founded in 1990 by a medical family from Rome, and was purchased by the Tommasi family in 2015. The total property covers 130 acres, of which 57 are vineyards for Brunello and Rosso and 30 are planted with olive trees. The estate is perched on a splendid natural terrace overlooking the south-east area of Montalcino, between St. Antimo Abbey and the Orcia river valley.
Estate
Tommasi is historically and today a standard bearer of the Amarone appellation, and one of the most important quality producers in the Veneto. The family-run estate was founded in 1902 by Giacomo Tommasi in the village of Pedemonte, which lies in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico region. The family owns 234 acres in Valpolicella Classico, making them the single largest land owners in the area. Over the years they have expanded their holdings in other areas of Italy, and have after many years been able to secure an estate in an outstanding area of Montalcino.
Vineyard
The Casisano vineyards are all south-east exposed and trellised with single spurred cordon. The soil is extremely stony and made up of a shale and clay mix called galestro.
Vinification
Rosso di Montalcino (100% Sangiovese) undergoes a 15-day fermentation and maceration in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. It is aged for 8 months in Slavonian oak.
