Carus

Straddling San Casciano and Mercatale in Val di Pesa, Carus extends over twenty-six hectares within the sole denomination that guides its work, Chianti Classico DOCG. Of this area, thirteen and a half hectares are dedicated to Sangiovese and other Tuscan red grapes, the heart of a production that seeks its measure in the terroir. The choice to concentrate on a single set of regulations allows for a clear understanding of how soil and exposure shape each expression. However, the vineyard is not the whole story: four and a half hectares of olive groves complete the farm's picture, a sign of organic and eco-sustainable management extended to the entire estate. This is agriculture that holds wine and oil together as parts of the same ecosystem. The company welcomes visitors for tastings, offering the opportunity to follow the journey from the glass, from the grape cluster to winemaking. Those who come to Val di Pesa can walk among vines and olive trees, observe the organic choice up close, and taste a Chianti Classico that asserts its bond with this Florentine hillside.
