Cassiopea

Costa Toscana Rosato IGT

Cabernet Franc 70%, Merlot 30%

Cassiopea revives the tradition of great rosés from this area, which are well-known for their extraordinary savoury hints and freshness. It has the colour and intensity of Bolgheri’s summer sunsets and bears the name of the constellation that lights up the skies above the estate of Poggio al Tesoro.

Climate Trend

The 2024 vintage stood out for its steady and balanced progression. Spring brought cool temperatures and abundant rainfall, which slowed down the vegetative growth of the vines but also ensured valuable water reserves. These proved essential in facing a summer that was the complete opposite: hot and dry, marked by intense sunlight.

Bolgheri’s true strength lies in its privileged location—nestled between the tempering sea breeze and the protective embrace of the wooded hills behind. This natural balance fosters pronounced temperature fluctuations between day and night, creating optimal

conditions for the vines. Sheltered from water and heat stress, the vines maintained a harmonious balance of freshness, structure, and aromatic complexity. Harvest began in the last ten days of August with Vermentino and continued through early October with the later-ripening varieties. Each cluster was picked at the peak of ideal ripeness, preserving the unique character of each grape variety. This meticulous approach allowed us to craft wines that fully express the intended identity—perfectly balanced between elegance, intensity, and personality.
