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.
Tasting Notes
This fantastic offering from Famiglia Casadei is a premium offering from mineral-rich schist soils in Tuscany. Made from 100% Viognier the Filare 23 rivals some of the top appellations in the northern Rhône where the variety is native to. Hand harvested and meticulously selected for quality, the wine is fermented spontaneously in new tonneaux which adds a depth and complexity to the wine whilst maintaining its distinct fruity note. Ripe apricot and floral aromas on the nose lead through to a lively freshness and saline depth on the palate with beautifully long finish.
Food
Pairs excellently with fish stews, white meat roasts and asian cuisine.
