Terre di Casole
Wine · PDO · 1 municipality
Established in 2007 within Tuscany, the Terre di Casole DOC restricts its grape-growing boundary strictly to the single municipality of Casole d'Elsa. This micro-appellation distinguishes itself from broader Tuscan counterparts by tying quality tiers directly to vine age; production rules dictate that vines must be at least 7 years old for Rosso Superiore and at least 8 years old for Sangiovese Riserva. Additionally, the denomination features a highly technical Passito style where Chardonnay grapes are dried to 28% sugar, pressed between December 31 and March 31, and aged to reach a minimum total alcohol of 15.0%.
