Canaiolo 2021 - Podere Casaccia

Canaiolo - Podere Casaccia

Podere Casaccia's Canaiolo comes from the oldest vineyards, where historic Canaiolo clones grow according to the natural rhythms of the land, amidst rolling Tuscan hills 80-160 meters above sea level. Here, the life of the vineyards, ranging from 7 to 60 years old, is intertwined with the biodynamic approach: every intervention is measured, every gesture done by hand, in harmony with nature. The grapes are harvested by hand, carefully selected, and left to ferment spontaneously using indigenous yeasts. The process is slow and respectful: pre- and post-fermentation macerations, regular punching down and pumping over, and finally, six months of aging "sur lies" in 10-hectoliter French oak barrels, followed by a brief stint in stainless steel before bottling. All this to enhance the authenticity of the fruit and the personality of the terroir. In the glass, it displays a vibrant, brilliant red. The nose is a delicate and deep bouquet, revealing notes of rose petals, red flowers, fresh fruit, and subtle hints of aromatic herbs. On the palate, it is harmonious, rounded, and vibrant, with elegant tannins that support a gentle freshness and a pleasant minerality. Red fruit reveals nuances of pomegranate and plum, in a long, enveloping finish that invites you to return to the glass. A versatile wine, capable of effortlessly pairing a variety of dishes: from sweet cured meats to fresh pasta or grains with vegetables, from white meats and boiled meats to tomato-infused fish soups. Every sip speaks of the passion for respectful viticulture, the attention to detail, and the authentic history of a grape variety that, once sparse and under-productive, today expresses all the elegance of Podere Casaccia's Canaiolo.

Cellar: Podere Casaccia

Podere Casaccia is located on the hills of Scandicci, in the province of Florence, surrounded by 12 hectares of woods, olive groves and vineyards. The farm was purchased in 1999 by Roberto Moretti. At the beginning of his adventure, he did not have the conviction of producing wine but only the passion for the earth and the nature that had been transmitted to him by his parents. In time Roberto realizes that the passion he has towards wine and good drink pushes him to try to produce one that reflects his energetic character, and the land from where he is born. Roberto studies and in a short time embraces biodynamic philosophy, the only one that could allow him to combine the tradition of his places with the best agricultural production practices that have the utmost respect for the environment. Its goal is to obtain high quality grapes, resulting from the improvement of the soil structure from which the plant nourishes together with light and other elements, in full harmony with all the surrounding nature. Today, Podere Casaccia has vines with an average age ranging from 40 to 50 years old, consisting of old clones of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Giacchè, Malvasia Nera, Trebbiano and Malvasia Bianca. Roberto is in charge of all stages of production, from pruning to fertilization through the use of leguminous, cruciferous and biodynamic preparations. For the care of vineyard uses only small amounts of copper and sulfur. Harvesting exclusively manually and in the cellar, vinification occurs spontaneously with only native yeasts. Before bottling the wine is not clarified or filtered. Roberto's desire to discover him has led to the planting of native vines such as the Pugnitello and the Round Leaf from which pure wines will be born. The intent of Podere Casaccia is to produce a quality wine that is mirror of the territory and the mood it does.
