Castelli & Speerli<\/strong> was born as an innovative project<\/strong> in the heart of Tuscany<\/strong>, combining local winemaking tradition<\/strong> with a modern<\/strong> and sustainable entrepreneurial vision<\/strong>. The company aims to reinterpret the pleasure of wine<\/strong> in a conscious<\/strong> way, focusing on quality<\/strong> and respect for the consumer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Founded by Simone Castelli<\/strong>, a third-generation winemaker<\/strong> from Maremma<\/strong>, and Heinz Speerli<\/strong>, a Swiss entrepreneur<\/strong> with international experience<\/strong>, the company offers organic, vegan, and low-alcohol wines<\/strong> designed to be enjoyed on any occasion without compromising wellness<\/strong> and gastronomic versatility<\/strong>, from aperitifs<\/strong> to light or plant-based cuisine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The philosophy of Castelli & Speerli<\/strong> is based on three fundamental principles: joy<\/strong>, health<\/strong>, and respect<\/strong>. The company promotes “light wines<\/strong>,” which offer the full pleasure of wine<\/strong> with an alcohol content below 10%<\/strong>, allowing a bottle to be shared during a meal without exceeding the legal driving limit of 0.5\u2030<\/strong>. This choice responds to the growing consumer attention to health<\/strong> and sustainability<\/strong>, without sacrificing the quality<\/strong> and typicality<\/strong> of Tuscan wine<\/strong>, positioning Castelli & Speerli<\/strong> among the leading producers of dealcoholized wines in Italy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Castelli & Speerli wines<\/strong> are versatile<\/strong> and suitable for many gastronomic pairings<\/strong>: perfect at the table with light or vegetarian dishes<\/strong>, as an aperitif<\/strong>, or to accompany meals on the go, always maintaining balance<\/strong> and finesse<\/strong>, enhancing every moment of conviviality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A distinctive feature of Castelli & Speerli\u2019s production<\/strong> is the physical dealcoholization method<\/strong>, applied immediately after fermentation<\/strong>. This innovative process<\/strong> reduces the alcohol content<\/strong> of wines by a maximum of 2 percentage points<\/strong> while preserving the aroma<\/strong>, color<\/strong>, structure<\/strong>, and organoleptic characteristics<\/strong> of the original product<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The process is based on membrane filtration<\/strong>: ethanol molecules<\/strong> selectively migrate into an extracting fluid<\/strong>, usually pure water<\/strong>, without the use of chemicals<\/strong>. Dealcoholization<\/strong> occurs at room temperature<\/strong> and very low pressure<\/strong>, avoiding any thermal alteration<\/strong> and preserving the character<\/strong> and personality<\/strong> typical of traditional wine<\/strong>, with a final alcohol content<\/strong> of around 9.5%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, the company adopts natural winemaking practices<\/strong> without chemical additives<\/strong>, ensuring authentic wines<\/strong> that respect quality<\/strong> and sustainability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Castelli & Speerli wines<\/strong> are also certified organic, vegan, and zero-residue<\/strong>, offering a clean, natural product<\/strong> suitable for health-conscious<\/strong> and sustainability-minded consumers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The star grape of Castelli & Speerli wines<\/strong> is Sangiovese<\/strong>, a native Tuscan variety<\/strong> grown at Podere 414<\/strong>, located in the heart of Maremma<\/strong>. Thanks to its versatility<\/strong>, Sangiovese<\/strong> allows for the production of three light, original wines<\/strong> that pair easily with a wide range of dishes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rossolieve:<\/strong> a lively<\/strong> and harmonious red wine<\/strong> with an intense aroma of red fruits<\/strong>. Ideal with red meats<\/strong>, aged cheeses<\/strong>, pasta with meat sauces<\/strong>, but also with vegetarian dishes<\/strong> or light grilled foods<\/strong>. With an alcohol content of 10.5%<\/strong>, it is perfect for a barbecue<\/strong> or pizza with friends<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volteggio:<\/strong> a light ros\u00e9<\/strong> with a pale pink color<\/strong> and aromas of white and yellow-fleshed fruits<\/strong>. Excellent as an aperitif<\/strong>, with fish dishes<\/strong>, ethnic cuisine<\/strong>, gourmet street food<\/strong>, or salads<\/strong> and vegetarian dishes<\/strong>. With an alcohol content of 10%<\/strong>, it is ideal for any sharing occasion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gioco:<\/strong> a light white wine<\/strong> with a pale straw color<\/strong> and fruity notes of peach and apricot<\/strong>. Perfect for aperitifs<\/strong>, light starters<\/strong>, vegetarian dishes<\/strong>, and vegan cuisine<\/strong>. With an alcohol content of 10%<\/strong>, it is a fresh<\/strong> and enjoyable choice<\/strong> for any occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More info at:<\/strong> castellispeerli.it<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Castelli & Speerli Description: Castelli & Speerli was born as an innovative project in the heart of Tuscany, combining local winemaking tradition with a modern and sustainable entrepreneurial vision.
