In showcase the best wines of Tuscany, the great and historical holdings, the new emerging small family captive wine, find wine, wines to discover. E 'Terre di Toscana was a larger than previous editions, but not too much to not lose the requirements of liveability, conviviality and elegance that have made this event so much appreciated. Indeed, to keep this time was available throughout the hotel, reserved exclusively. Some company more, to satisfy the numerous requirements, but also much more space!
So, number of visitors exceeding all expectations and a dinner with the tenants based on a creative and elegant cuisine, made with food in the area.
Among the companies present appointment, in addition to historical names, spicca.l 'CASAVYC company, a company controlled by Mrs. Vivian Filocamo. Let's learn more about this small but prestigious wine reality. The company is located about 9 km. Scansano (GR), in the center between the baths of Saturnia, the beaches of the Argentario and Monte Amiata, beautiful places reached by car in less than half an hour.
The property consists of 60 hectares of land 5 of which under vine, (later we will Other4 hectares), 2 acres of olive groves, and about 25 hectares of arable land on part of which is provided for the planting of new vineyards and olive groves, while the remaining land consists of forests and Mediterranean.
The vineyards, small particles embedded in a forest and the other, lies at an altitude ranging between 400 and 500 meters, facing west - southwest, and a sixth planting of 6,250 vines per hectare. Since 2004, work began on the renovation of farm structures, the cellar, service spaces, and the spaces reserved for direct sale. The initial idea of \u200b\u200bownership has always been to produce a wine of prestige, who successfully pass the local and regional level to seek an international comparison. Without needing to please everyone. Vines
atypical for this area, but they seem born to give my best in these conditions. Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Pinot Noir. Vines of French tradition, but which have the character to vary considerably depending on the environment in which they grow, giving wines "typical" in the truest sense of the word, or only for traits related to the production area. Producing a
Morellino di Scansano, which were maintained at the levels of the other wines of the company was a real challenge. A small vineyard very old converted to a specific targeting to limit production, is offering a product of rare elegance, he deserved an aging wood and, after a year in French oak barrels from 228 to 400 liters. O7O7O7 gave birth to a morellino strong and original personality.
morellino course will be accompanied by a vintage that, thanks to Malbek and grenache grapes, and aging without the use of wood, it will be a surprise for its softness and elegance.
"Slowly little by little" Sauvignon blanc is a rare elegance, produced in a few bottles from a small vineyard protected from the sun and located in the woods.
Then there are the production of extra virgin olive oil, created by integrating a classic Tuscan blend of Moraiolo, Frantoio and Pendolino, excellent, but subject to premature oxidation, with unusual varieties that always allow great results in other regions of Italy. A mixture that has already sparked interest among experts who have tasted. Another reality
wine niche, from production and prestige Polazzine di Montalcino (SI). The term indicates polazzine tits, bright and colorful birds of the Tuscan countryside, but also affectionate nickname for girls, such as Purple and Sofia, the charming daughters of the farm owners, Joseph and Gigliola Corelli.
In the center of town is the winery of the same name that serves typical local accompanied by their own wines. The small winery has the Le Prata Brunello di Montalcino is aged in oak casks, and Rosso di Montalcino. It also produced a Sangiovese di Toscana "The Polazzine, besides the traditional Grappa di Brunello di Toscana Terre
See you in 2012!
