Casisano
Rosso di Montalcino 2024
Tuscany
The Casisano Rosso di Montalcino is a red-fruited, traditional Sangiovese that comes from vineyards nestled in the southern hills of one of Italy’s most renowned wine producing areas, midway between the towns of Sant’Angelo in Colle and Castelnuovo dell’Abate in the heart of Montalcino. The wine is a classic expression of Sangiovese Grosso, the Sangiovese clone used to make both Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino.
Faithful representation of terroir and traditional winemaking methods are a high priority for the Tommasi family, who purchased the estate in 2015. Both the vine training system – single spurred cordon – and the fermentation process – 15 days in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks followed by aging in Slavonian oak barrels – are the traditional methods of cultivating the vines and aging the wines. The result is a lively and elegant wine with a round medium body and soft, velvety tannins that perfectly reflects Montalcino’s unique terroir.
VINEYARD
Podere Casisano, at 480 meters above sea level, from very well-ventilated, Cordon Spur-trained vineyards with south-easterly exposures. The soil is of varied origin, rich in stones and galestro (schistous clay).
WINEMAKING
Maceration for 15 days at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wines are aged for 8 months in Slavonian oak casks.
VINTAGE
The 2024 Montalcino vintage experienced a dynamic growing season. A hot summer was followed by unusual rainfall in August and September, which slowed ripening. The extended harvest period in October benefited from cooler temperatures, allowing for excellent phenolic development. The result is a vintage with vibrant aromatics, balanced acidity, and lower alcohol levels compared to recent years. Despite the climatic shifts, 2024 was a great year for Brunello.
TASTING NOTE
Deep ruby red. A complex bouquet reminiscent of violets, plums and red berry fruits, combined with delicate spicy hints. It is dry on the palate, with an attractive balance between its tannins and acidity.

James Suckling - June 24, 2026 "Savory and inviting, showing cured meat, chocolate, dark cherries and raspberries. Medium-bodied, juicy and fluid with a supple fruit-driven finish."

Colombaiolo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva
From a single plot among the vineyards of Podere Casisano, in one of the highest and best-quality positions in the hills to the south-east of Montalcino, Colombaiolo combines structure, elegance and harmony.
Brunello di Montalcino
Casisano’s Brunello di Montalcino is distinguished by its elegance and its deep ruby red color. It unites potency and refinement and has excellent aging potential. The wine presents a good concentration on the mid-palate and a persistent aftertaste, with a rounded and voluptuous body, and interesting, silky tannins, typical of the prestigious wines of Montalcino. With its tempting perfumes of red berries and its clean freshness, the complexity of this wine presents an excellent balance.
