Trebbiano 2004 - Azienda Agricola Casale

The Trebbiano 2004 is an orange wine produced according to the ancient tradition of also vinifying the white grapes as the red ones, in order to obtain a wine with good structure, able to age well over time. It is produced by the Company Agricola Casale, located halfway between Florence and San Gimignano, near the birthplace of Bocaccio. The harvest is manual, and the grapes are fermented spontaneously with the only indigenous yeasts and without temperature control, with a 30-day maceration. It is then aged for 8 years in 20hl chestnut casks and in steel for 2 years before being bottled in 2014. It is bottled without filtration or added sulfur. The 2004 Trebbiano of the Casale Farm is of a deep golden yellow color. The nose opens on aromas of yellow fruit, notes of aromatic herbs and candied fruit. At the sip it is warm and enveloping, rich, soft, with good freshness, and a very long finish.

Service

We recommend serving it at a temperature of 10/12 ° in tulip glasses. Wine to be drunk immediately but holds up very well time.

Pairing

Excellent with pasta dishes, fish main courses, semi-aged cheeses, it goes perfectly with raw fish dishes.

Winery: Azienda Agricola Casale

The Casale farm is located in Certaldo, a wonderful medieval village, nestled between Florence and Siena, in the Val d'Elsa. Always managed by the Giglioli-Rinaldi family, which here has been making wine since 1770. Today it is managed by Antonio Giglioli who was one of the first in Italy to grow the vineyards in biodynamic. Antonio cultivates 34 hectares, of which 7 hectares planted with Sangiovese, Canaiolo nero, Trebbiano and Malvasia Lungo del Chianti, and the rest with olive groves and cereals with which he produces oil and spelled. In the vineyard it does not use any kind of chemical substance but uses only biodynamic preparations such as the 500 and 501 preparations. In the cellar fermentations are spontaneous with only indigenous yeasts, and also for white wines it uses long maceration on the skins in order to extract the maximum from each individual bunch. The refinements take place in 50-year-old chestnut barrels from 20 to 40 hectoliters. Surprising wines, among which the Trebbiano aged 10 years in chestnut barrels, and the Chianti DOCG Riserva stand out. The wines of the Casale never tire and leave you to drink without tiring. Delicious.
