Casisano
Brunello di Montalcino 2013
Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
This elegant, traditional style Brunello is produced at a mid-sized estate located in the southern hills of Montalcino, between the towns of Sant’ Angelo in Colle and Castelnuovo dell’Abate, one of the most quintessentially picturesque areas in Tuscany.
Vineyard
The Casisano vineyard enjoys southeastern exposure and is composed of various soil types. It is particularly rich in galestro stone.
Winemaking
The wine sees 25 days of skin maceration and is then aged in Slavonian oak casks for 3 years, followed by an additional four months of bottle aging.
Tasting Note
Firm, laced with cherry, leather and earth flavors, this red is chewy, with dusty tannins building on the finish.

"Outstanding example of the graceful style of Sangiovese"
Vinous - August 9, 2019 "Good full red. Precise, perfumed aromas of red berries, flowers and spices, lifted by a mineral nuance. Not a fleshy wine but juicy and firm and with outstanding inner-mouth perfume, with lovely balancing acidity giving the wine vibrancy and wonderful clarity and cut. Not the last work in concentration but finishes with sweet tannins and very good length. This is very varietally accurate and an outstanding example of the graceful style of Sangiovese that Montalcino can deliver, with perfume and precision similar to some of the best Chianti Classicos but bigger in size. I especially like this wine's balance, which will have you hardly noticing the 14% alcohol. Well done."
"Appealing balance"
James Suckling - August 9, 2019 "Intensely herbal with licorice and walnut notes, this has an appealing balance of sweetness and firm, dry tannins. Better from 2019 and should develop well for another decade after that"

From a single plot among the vineyards of Podere Casisano, in one of the highest and best-quality positions in the hills to the south-east of Montalcino, Colombaiolo combines structure, elegance and harmony.
Rosso di Montalcino
Casisano Rosso di Montalcino is a classic expression of Sangiovese Grosso, the Sangiovese clone used to make both Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino. Lively and elegant, Casisano Rosso has a round medium body, with soft and velvety tannins, and the wine perfectly and faithfully reflects Montalcino's unique terroir.
