Cassiopea

Cassiopea
Costa Toscana Rosato I.G.T.
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 2025 vintage stood out for its complex and variable climatic conditions, marking one of the most intense and challenging seasons in recent years. After summers characterized by strong heat waves, July proved unusually mild, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and harmoniously. This gradual pace enabled the vines to maintain vegetative balance and develop complex, natural aromatic profiles, without the excessive concentration typical of high temperatures. The privileged location of Bolgheri played a fundamental role: the proximity of the sea with its cooling breezes and the protection of the surrounding hills created ideal temperature variations, supporting freshness and grape health even during the most delicate phases. Harvest began a few days later than average. During the vintage, irregular rainfall totaling approximately 150 mm required targeted interventions and careful selection of the most sensitive grapes. Thanks to this precise management, the wines of the vintage express balance, freshness, structure, and aromatic complexity, faithfully reflecting the identity of the territory.
