Tasting Notes

This is the premium offering from Hugo Casanova and it benefits from 15 months of ageing in French oak. The intense cherry colour draws you to abundant aromas of mature dark fruits. Complex in the mouth with a hint of toasted oak from its time in barrels. The tannins are soft and round and the finish is long lasting with a chocolaty edge.

Other Notes

Coming from the north of Italy, the first members of the Casanova family arrived in Chile at the end of the XIX century, their purpose was to continue the nobel tradition for producing high quality wine, the same prominent wines they had been growing in Italy for generations. To achieve this goal, Eliseo Casanova acquired the "Batuco" and "Valle Hermoso" farms in the Itata valley where he fulfilled his dreams. Years later, his son Aldo, attracted by the exceptional climate conditions for the vinegrowing in the Maule region, bought the "Purisima Ranch" where he introduced French cepage. In 1976, after Mr. Aldo Casanova Pozza passed away, his son Hugo took charge of the direction of the family company, since then the vineyard has had great sucess with its excellent range of wines.
