Description
Brand: Tenuta Casadei
Origin: Italy
Grape:Syrah, Mediterranean red grape varieties
Taste Note: A wine of depth and precision, Sogno Mediterraneo reveals an intense aromatic profile of blackberry and blackcurrant, layered with dark chocolate, tobacco and sweet spice nuances. The palate is both powerful and agile, opening with a decisive yet silky texture. Well-structured with refined, supple tannins, it carries remarkable concentration while maintaining balance. The finish is long and persistent, marked by dark fruit and gentle spice, reflecting both Mediterranean warmth and elegant restraint.
Winemaking Process: Hand-harvested grapes are cooled at 10°C for 24 hours before destemming and gentle crushing. Fermentation with native yeasts takes place in cement tanks and partially in terracotta amphorae, followed by an 18-day maceration for depth and structure. Malolactic fermentation occurs in barriques. The wine is aged for 12–14 months in French oak (80% second passage, 20% new), ensuring integration, complexity and balance.
Sommelier Advice: Serve at 16°C in warmer conditions and up to 18°C in cooler seasons, in a Bordeaux-style glass. Decanting for 45–60 minutes is recommended to allow full aromatic development. Ideal with roasted lamb, slow-cooked meats, game dishes, and aged cheeses. With cellaring potential exceeding 10 years, the wine will evolve towards greater complexity and finesse.
