Tenuta Casadei

In 1997, the Casadei family planted the first vineyards on 15 hectares of their estate in the Maremma region, on the coast. Stefano Casadei's idea was to create wines that reflect the terroir of the Tuscan coast. The vineyards are located in the central part of the Tuscan coast, in the south of the DOC Val di Cornia. The hot summer here is softened by cooling sea breezes. The warming sun and winds provide a microclimate suitable for organic winemaking - the estate has an organic certificate. Only organic fertilizers are used in the vineyards. All work is done manually and with the help of horses. The Casadei family believes that wines are born in the vineyard. Therefore, the winery uses the most delicate technologies. Fermentation takes place in clay tanks, and for aging, barrels are used in which simpler wines have previously been aged.
