I love the aromas of orange peel, rose petals and sour cherries. Light- to medium-bodied with crunchy fruit and a crisp finish. Tangy. From hillside vineyards around Florence. 100% sangiovese. Drink now.

Varietal

Sangiovese

The name of this grape, meaning 'blood of Jove' conjures up evocative images of long dead civilizations, and gives the Sangiovese varietal a sense of the holy, the sacred, the special. Indeed, this particular type of Italian grape has been cultivated and processed for thousands of years, and is said to be the original favorite grape varietal of the Romans, and the Etruscans before them. Throughout history, vintners have continued to plant this varietal, and they continue to produce wonderful wines to this day. The long bunches of very dark, round fruit are treasured by fine wineries in Italy and a few other places around the world, and when young, these grapes are lively â€“ full of strawberry flavors and a little spiciness. However, it is when they are aged in oak that they take on some truly special flavors and aromas, as seen in some of the finest wines of the Old World.

Country

Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region

Tuscany

The central Italian region of Tuscany is widely understood to be one of the world's most famous and highly regarded wine regions. The beautiful rolling hillsides and medieval towns and castles which are a key feature of the area are also home to many of Europe's finest wineries, and extremely high quality vineyards growing the distinctive Sangiovese and Vernaccia grape varietals which are the flavorful backbone of Tuscany's wonderful red and white wines. For almost three thousand years, this region has been recognized as an ideal home for wine production on a large scale, and the ancient Etruscans, Greeks and Romans all noticed that fine grape varietals flourished on the unique soils and under the hot sunshine which typifies the area. Today, Tuscany is home to a wide range of wines, from the traditional to the complex, but all dedicated to excellent flavors and aromas, and maintaining the region's international reputation.

Originally, Casamatta was a high production wine hitting around half a million bottles per vintage, but in recent years it has been massively dialled down to just 30,000 bottles in order to focus on quality. Slightly creamy and silky, the 2023 features some orange peel and coffee notes alongside crunchy cherry and fresh herbs. Emergy, sapidity and succulence are in abundance here. Delicious!

The 2023 Rosso Casamatta entices with a burst of spiced orange peels, cedar shavings and crushed cherries. It is juicy to the core, with cool-toned acidity and crisp wild berry fruits, all guided by vibrant acidity. It tapers off classically dry, with a subtle mineral crunchiness that keeps the palate aching for another sip. This high-energy Casamatta Rosso captures the freshness of the season beautifully.

Wine Advocate

The Bibi Graetz 2023 Casamatta Poderi di Fiesole is all Sangiovese, with sweetness and some ripeness that reminds me of strawberry cobbler. You also get blue flower and scorched earth. The wine remains primary and fresh and offers a soft texture enhanced by more raspberry and cherry to close. This is a larger production of 20,000 bottles.

Winery Notes

A Sangiovese with lots of cherry and raspberry, a nice acidity which helps with food and a round medium body with low tannins and vibrant back palate. Casamatta grapes are sourced from the youngest vineyards, from the north of Florence down south towards Siena. The fermentation is conducted in stainless steel tanks to maintain the style of the wine, and it last for no more than a week without maceration at the end of the process. The different vineyards are blended and aged 6 months in stainless steel tanks before the final bottling. 100% Sangiovese.
