Casale — Passione Vino

In the heart of Tuscany, set in the Sienese hills, ancient land of winemaking tradition, the vines of Casale give life to a grand wine: IL CHIANTI.

The vines of Sangiovese, Canaiolo nero, Trebbiano and Malvasia lunga del Chianti, lovingly cared by Giovanni Borella, produce a finest selection of grapes. Destined to the winemaking of CHIANTI COLLI SENESI.

From the vine to the cellar and from the cask to the bottle, all the procedures are performed with maximum care and respect to the nature. In the same way the olive groves which extend around the property of IL CASALE are organically cared. The EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL of the surrounding hills, pressed in an old stone oil press, maintains the fragrance and the delicate freshness of the classical Tuscan Olive Oil.
