Casa e Chiesa' Tenuta Lenzini 2025

“Casa e Chiesa” is a Merlot genuine, simple and fresh produced by one of the most convincing and interesting realities of the Lucca hills. “There are aromatic nuances that you do not expect; sensory alchemies that can only be explained by rediscovering the expressiveness of nature, the origins of a territory.” With this phrase we can summarize the thoughts of Michele and Benedetta Lenzini, two young wine artisans, bound in life and by the vine. The talented young people take care of the 24 hectares inherited from their grandfather with an extremely sensitive approach, rigorously applying the pure principles of biodynamics. Simplicity, talent and passion are reflected in this everyday and convivial red, which tells with disarming simplicity the nature of the fruit in its juiciest and most pleasant form. A juice of territory particularly appreciated for its exquisitely gastronomic and genuine soul!

The Red “Casa e Chiesa” by Lenzini takes its name from the locality where the vineyards are located, in fact, between the house of Michele-Benedetta and the church of the small village of Gragnano. The Merlot vines have acclimatized in these lands for centuries and grow lush in a living, pure and rich in biodiversity soil. A “reasoned viticulture”, as defined by the winery, allows for healthy grapes that tell the moods of the vintage and the naturalness of the land. In the winery, in the same way, they continue with what the winery defines as “emotional enology”. This is a non-invasive approach that prohibits any form of intervention on the must such as clarifications, filtrations or addition of sulfites. Fermentations occur spontaneously through the intervention of indigenous yeasts in vats without any temperature control. This is followed by aging in steel and cement for about 24 months.

“Casa e Chiesa” shows a dark and concentrated veil that recalls the shade of ruby. The nose is a triumph of juicy fruit in dark hues: wild blackberries, plums and black berries. Earthy notes, forest fragrances, peppery brushstrokes and light underbrush nuances amplify and enrich the bouquet. On the palate, the freshness, delicious, rustic and satisfying dominates, tempered by the innate roundness and fleshiness of the variety. A drinkable, sincere and pleasant sip, toned by an intense tannic structure. Irresistible!
