2023 10% by Vol. 750ml

Casasole is an expression of Orvieto’s classic winemaking traditions; wines from this papal city were sent to ecclesiastical dignitaries and noblemen in Rome. It differs from Orvieto Classico Campogrande due to its light and natural residual sugars making it slightly sweet on the palate.

Climate

The 2023 growing season began with mild winter weather and limited rainfall. Spring was quite the opposite with cool temperatures and higher than average precipitation that replenished groundwater resources and slightly delayed budbreak and flowering.

Summer brought typical weather, the first half of the season saw occasional rain showers and then hot dry conditions began mid-July up lasting until the end of August. Optimal temperature swings between day and night began mid-August creating ideal conditions for a gradual even ripening phase. The harvest began at the end of September, about 5 to 7 days later than seasonal averages, with perfectly healthy, ripe fruit that presented optimal acidity and an outstanding aromatic profile.

Fermentation and Aging

Procanico and Grechetto grape varieties were harvested, destemmed, and gently pressed. The must was chilled to a temperature of about 10 °C (50 °F) to obtain natural clarification. Alcoholic fermentation, conducted in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks at a temperature that did not exceed 18 °C (64 °F), was abruptly halted by sharply dropping the temperature (up to 0 °C) to retain natural residual sugars. Casasole was then filtered and aged at a low temperature up until bottling, which began at the beginning of February 2024.

 

Tasting Notes

Casasole 2023 is a light straw yellow color. The nose presents fruity aromas with notes of bananas and pears together with light hints of acacia blossoms. The palate is slightly sweet and defined by outstanding freshness that makes it extremely pleasing and easy to drink.
