Casanova’s identity is embodied in a philosophy centered on artisanal care, the pursuit of expressive purity, and meticulous management of the production cycle, from attention to the vineyard through to bottling, with a certain inclination to minimize external intervention so that the specific character of the grape can emerge. The grapes selected for Blanc de Noirs 2017 come from vineyards characterized by well-draining soil, sunny exposures, and a microclimate that encourages slow ripening—elements that translate into a creamy mousse, fine perlage, and clarity that invites tasting. The wine stands out for its ability to blend the typical structure of black grapes with a softness that envelops the palate, offering notes of golden apple, ripe pear, subtle citrus hints, and a light toastiness reminiscent of brioche, balancing freshness and savoriness. Within the Casanova range, Blanc de Noirs 2017 holds a prominent position as an expression of style and producer identity: it is not simply an accompanying sparkling wine, but an offering that defines the estate’s signature and invites unhurried moments, capable of enhancing an elegant toast in reflective and convivial settings.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Casanova","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56778925244741,"sku":"CAS-BLADENOI-CHA-17-075","price":95.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/7376\/7237\/files\/Casanova-Blanc-de-Noirs-2017-AOC-075l.jpg?v=1788874065"},{"product_id":"casanova-blanc-de-noirs-2018-075","title":"Casanova Blanc de Noirs 2018 AOC 0,75l","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eCasanova Blanc de Noirs 2018 AOC 0,75l is a bottle that tells the story of a geographical area devoted to vineyards and patience, where the raw material is guided with a firm but unobtrusive hand; the Casanova estate weaves together a family and regional history, a tradition that has developed over time through constant commitment in the vineyard, respectful resource management, and a cellar where technique serves the purity of the fruit; the production philosophy stands out for its understated pursuit of balance, where human intervention is measured and nature is listened to with open attention: hand harvesting, careful grape selection, and controlled maturation that enhances freshness, aromatic character, and the wine's vertical acidity; the distinctive characteristics of this label lie in its elegant profile: fine, continuous perlage, creamy but not heavy texture, pronounced acidity supporting a long progression on the palate, and a minerality that seems to imprint the soil's signature on every sip; the aroma, complex yet balanced, brings together notes of golden citrus, white flowers, and subtle hints of white-fleshed fruit, with an undercurrent of marine salinity that lingers on the palate; stylistically, Casanova Blanc de Noirs 2018 AOC 0,75l embodies understated refinement: it is not ostentatious, but is appreciated for the purity of its profile, the harmony between body and freshness, and its ability to accompany a wide range of dishes, from light appetizers to fish-based preparations, without losing its identity; within the estate's range, this label serves as a benchmark: a controlled variation demonstrating how a Blanc de Noirs can be elevated without resorting to artifice, while also offering a consistent presence in the producer's portfolio.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Casanova","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56778925539653,"sku":"CAS-BLADENOI-CHA-18-075","price":95.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/7376\/7237\/files\/Casanova-Blanc-de-Noirs-2018-AOC-075l.jpg?v=1788874066"}],"url":"https:\/\/steltwines.com\/en\/collections\/puisieulx.oembed","provider":"STELT - Vini Pregiati \u0026 Champagne","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
