Casamonti has 6 hectares of specialized vineyards. There is a central nucleus of specialized vineyards planted primarily to Sangiovese grapevines, which are the heart and essence of all Chianti Classico and Brunello wines.
Separate from the main vineyards are three smaller sections which also host Merlot and other varietals, whose grapes are used to blend with the Sangiovese to provide a softer and more delicate tone to the IGT wine.
Three wines are produced from Casamonti’s grapes, with the fermentation, aging and bottling taking place under our direct supervision.
Elogio di Casamonti is our fresh and young Tuscan IGT wine that is ideal for every moment of the day and accompanies all kinds of foods splendidly. It is a blend of Sangiovese with Canaiolo and some Merlot. The grapes are fermented separately and then blended to our satisfaction.
Our Chianti Classico D.O.P. is a pure Sangiovese partially aged in large wooden casks and part in barriques to obtain a perfect state of aging. It is a more refined wine and it is ideal with meats and our pork products and with Tuscan Pecorino cheeses. It is also a fresh tasting wine.
The Chianti Classico D.O.P. Riserva is a thoughtful wine, made from Sangiovese grapes, aged in barriques and ideal for stronger meats like Fiorentina steaks, or simply for meditation and general enjoyment of its rich content and full body.
