Casentino: The birthplace of our sparkling wines
Casentino is much more than just a Tuscan valley. It is a place steeped in history, spirituality, and unspoiled nature, where time seems to flow at a different pace. It is here, among the majestic forests and medieval villages, that the soul of our wines is born.
A journey through history
Inhabited since Etruscan times, this valley has witnessed the passage of peoples and cultures that have left indelible traces. Castles, Romanesque churches, and sanctuaries, such as the Hermitage of Camaldoli and the Sanctuary of La Verna, testify to the profound spirituality that has always permeated these places.
A unique terroir in the world
But nature is the true protagonist of Casentino. A harmony of elements that creates an exceptional terroir for viticulture:
- Soil: The predominantly calcareous soil, rich in minerals, gives structure and complexity to our wines, giving them a marked minerality and longevity.
- Climate: The altitude and the presence of forests create a cool and ventilated microclimate, with strong temperature variations between day and night. This favors a slow and gradual ripening of the grapes, preserving aromas and acidity.
- Forests: Casentino boasts the oldest and best-preserved forests in Italy, an invaluable heritage of biodiversity. These ancient woods, with their imposing presence, protect the vineyards from the winds and contribute to creating a balanced ecosystem.
A sensory experience
It is from this combination of history, nature and passion that our Metodo Classico wines are born. Wines that embody the essence of Casentino: elegant, fresh and mineral, with intense aromas reminiscent of wild berries, wildflowers and aromatic herbs.
