Fattoria Casaloste is a winery in the hills of Panzano in Chianti, one of the most prestigious locations in the Chianti Classico region, halfway between Florence and Siena. The farm has 10 ha of DOCG vineyard and 2 ha of D.O.P. olive trees. The owners Emilia and Giovanni Battista d'Orsi, an agronomist and enologist, are passing on to Daughter Maria Giovanna. The farm also welcomes guests to stay in two comfortable apartments decorated in Tuscan style, where it is possible to fully enjoy the beautiful Chianti landscape and environment by eating great food and drinking wonderful Chianti wines.

 Press WS 92Pts "Vibrant and bursting with cherry, strawberry and rose flavors, this red also shows a solid structure. Remains fresh and balanced while playing out on the long, fruit, earth and mineral-filled aftertaste. 90% Sangiovese and Merlot. Only 2,160 cases made, 900 cases imported."

 Press Vs 91Pts "The 2021 Chianti Classico is expressive and nicely layered in the glass, marked by strong savory and earthy notes than run through. The Casaloste Chianti Classico is a blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Merlot. Sangiovese is fermented on the skins of the Merlot (which ripens earlier), a Tuscan version of the ripasso method that is used widely in Veneto."
