Casisano-Colombaio
Fattoria Casisano-Colombaio is on the threshold
of acquiring a rank in Toscana’s elite contingent, a stature that
realized its nascent stage in 1990, when the estate was acquired by
the Ciarpella family. The Ciarpellas initiated extensive renovations
of both the vineyard area—comprising a total of 19 hectares—and
facilities. The estate is situated south of Montalcino, with vineyards
receiving a southeasterly exposure, and the prevailing viticultural
ideology reflects a traditional orientation, directly evidenced by Casisano’s
use of Slavonian oak and fairly long maceration periods (averaging 25
days); organic principles have been employed in viticultural efforts
since 1996. In addition to the area’s standard bottlings—Brunello
di Montalcino (a Brunello Riserva is crafted in exceptional years) and
Rosso di Montalcino—Casisano also produces a single-vineyard Brunello
entitled Vigna del Colombaiolo, in addition to grappa and extra-virgin
olive oil. |
