Le Riserve

Lengthily and specially refined to bring out the best in great wines.

Ahead of any others Casali Viticultori planted internationally famous vines, including Sauvignon and Cabernet-Sauvignon in order to produce the right grapes for great still wines on the hillsides of Scandiano. Refinement in oak casks and lengthy ageing in bottles, in the company’s underground wine making facilities, at constant temperature and in the half-light, bring out the best from the reserve wines.

Do not be surprised if you visit in winter, with snow all around, to see grapes being pressed on our premises: we are making raisin wine from Spergola and Malbo Gentile grapes.

The grapes are set out to dry naturally for a few months, concentrating the aromas which can only be actually enjoyed two years later with a fine wine at the end of a meal, maybe to accompany toasted bread with herb cheese spread.
