Tasting Note:
Casagori Rosso 2023 is a vibrant, savory Tuscan red that combines Sangiovese’s bright acidity with Ciliegiolo’s generous fruit. Wild cherry, raspberry, ripe plum, violet, dried herbs, and subtle earthy spice lead into a juicy, medium-bodied palate. Fine tannins and a refreshing mineral edge keep the wine lively, while aging in older oak adds texture without overwhelming the fruit. A beautifully approachable expression of Tuscany, equally suited to a casual weeknight dinner or a proper Italian meal.
