About this wine
La Cassuccia is a single vineyard wine produced only in the very best years. The La Casuccia vineyard anchored in calcareous clay, comprises 12.58 hectares, at an elevation ranging from 480 metres to 526. A blend of Sangiovese with a small portion of Merlot, the wine undergoes a warm fermentation with regular pump overs and a lengthy maceration of 26 days. Following assemblage, the wine is matured in a mix of new and one year old French oak. A slightly more fruit-forward modern style, La Casuccia shows upfront red berry fruit, and a firm backbone of fine polished tannins.
