Fattoria Casaloste

In 1992, Giovanni d’Orsi and his family left their native Naples behind, drawn to Panzano in the heart of Chianti Classico. Here, he took over the small Casaloste estate. With much of his own labour, he lovingly renovated its little house into a gem, then tackled the vineyards with equal ambition. His goal was to rank among Chianti’s top ten within a few years. His vision was to produce modern wines that did not deny their Tuscan origins. The foundation is Sangiovese, not always an easy grape. It must ripen fully, and yields should be kept low. A sensitive touch is needed to make the wines elegant rather than rustic. Alongside Giovanni, oenologist Gabriella Tani brought precisely this. Her experience and sure touch in all matters of wine helped tame the rather rough Sangiovese into wines full of elegance and finesse. Giovanni thus achieved in a very short time what takes others many years: putting his own ideas into practice at a very high level of quality, with impressive results. Casaloste wines have taken top places in every comparative tasting of recent years. Giovanni d’Orsi has therefore effectively achieved his goal, but resting on his success is not his style. He constantly strives to raise the estate’s already high standards further.
