The Podere Casanova estate was acquired in 1549 by Michelangelo Buonarroti himself, who sent wine to his Florence residence in 1551. The Bucciarelli family became sharecroppers in 1926 and purchased the estate in 1982. Under Massimo Bucciarelli—trained during a 14-year tenure at the prestigious Castello dei Rampolla—the focus shifted decisively toward quality. The estate is now certified organic, working just 5 hectares in Castellina in Chianti at 420-500 meters elevation. Production is modest: roughly 15,000 bottles of Chianti Classico and 5,000 of Riserva annually. This 100% Sangiovese sees spontaneous fermentation and traditional aging. The 2013 Riserva, at over a decade old, shows classic Tuscan character: black cherry, leather, tobacco, with full-bodied intensity and ripe tannins. The magnum format allows graceful continued development.

"Made with organically farmed Sangiovese, this opens with aromas of black-skinned berry, leather and camphor. The savory palate offers dried black cherry, star anise and tobacco alongside polished tannins and fresh acidity. Drink through 2028." -Kerin O'Keefe
