The general organization of Fattoria Casaloste reflects the typical
Tuscan tradition of farm activities linked to the seasons. But
in detail, things change even radically. The motto of the winery,
"Essere piccoli per fare grandi vini" ("Be small
to make great wines"), encloses all the wine-making philosophy
of Fattoria Casaloste. Being small means dedication to careful
inspection of the grapes on the vines, correct pruning, prompt
and selective action in case of disease and choosing the exact
best time for harvest and other timely interventions. Being small
means the flexibility to avoid damaging days of rain during harvest
or prolong ripening in splendid, sunny October days.
And more: in the cellars special machines are used to avoid “stress”
to wines.
During the wine-making, the ageing and all other phases, a lot
of analysis and quality controls are made.
