WINE DESCRIPTION

Ricasoli Casalferro is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Ricasoli winery in Tuscany, Italy. The wine is made from Sangiovese grapes grown in the Casalferro vineyard, which is known for its unique soil composition and ideal microclimate. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, followed by fermentation and aging for a more extended period of time in tonneaux, 30% of which is new oak. The resulting wine is a full-bodied and complex red, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of vanilla. Ricasoli Casalferro is a perfect example of the high-quality wines that Tuscany is known for, and is a must-try for any wine enthusiast.
