The Casanova Della Spinetta Sassontino 10 Year Release is a distinguished wine from Tuscany, Italy. This red wine exhibits rich flavors of dark berries, herbs, and subtle earthy notes, characteristic of the region's fertile vineyards and varied microclimates. Its aging for a decade enhances the complexity and depth on the palate, making it a refined choice for wine enthusiasts.
This wine pairs well with hearty dishes such as osso buco, grilled lamb, and aged cheeses. It is also an excellent match for rich pasta sauces and mushroom risotto, enhancing the dining experience with its robust character.
The 2006 Sassontino is a pure expression of Sangiovese from 45-year-old vines. Past editions of this wine saw a small percentage of Colorino (about 5%) in the blend, but I am told this is no longer the case. The wine ages slowly at the winery for ten years before its commercial release. This is an incredibly fine and elegant expression with wild berry aromas followed by balsam herb, cola and licorice. The vineyard site is characterized by loosely knit, sandy soils, and these contribute to the aromatic purity and finesse of the final result.
