CREATING WINES OF CONSEQUENCE AND A LIFESTYLE EXPERIENCE TO MATCH
Dear Owners of Castello di Casole,
The greatest wines distinguish themselves as coming from a specific place. They capture the
quality of the light, the warmth of the sun, the cool night breeze, and the harmony of the
landscape. With every sip you taste, see and feel the beauty of the place where it was made,
creating a memory in the palate that will stay with you forever.
You now have the opportunity to partake in the experience of creating an extraordinary wine in
an exceptional place while enjoying all the benefits of owning your own vineyard in Tuscany as a
Founding Member of C. Dodici - The Vintners Club at Castello di Casole.
As a Founding Member of The Vintners Club, you will not only taste great wines, but also help
create them. Join world-renowned winemakers in crafting wines from nearly 100 acres of
vineyards and experience the processes involved in this labor of love. From the pruning of the
vines in winter, to participating in the harvest in the fall, to blending and bottling afterward. You
will also be invited on private winery tours, to educational workshops, and countless other
exclusive amenities and benefits limited to just 24 Founding Members.
From field to cellar, from Tuscany to your home, The Vintners Club is an enriching wine and
culinary experience, and an incredible way to become part of Italy's most important tradition. We
invite you to join us as a Founding Member for this remarkable journey.
Warm regards,

SCIONS OF RENOWNED WINEMAKING FAMILIES
Piero Incisa della Rocchetta
Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, grandson of legendary Italian
winemaker Marchese Mario Incisa - the creator and
proprietor of Sassicaia - spent his childhood in vineyards
overlooking the Mediterranean. Piero’s childhood learnings
were steeped in the centuries-old winemaking and vineyard
management traditions to which he adds his own unique
perspective. Now crafting vintages in two hemispheres Dodici in Tuscany and a Pinot Noir called Bodega Chacra in
Patagonia rated at 93 and called "Best Pinot from South
America" by Wine Enthusiast - his approach is traditional,
organic and biodynamic.
Hans Vinding-Diers
Hans Vinding-Diers is among the world's most
accomplished and ambitious oenologists, his vintages
consistently commanding 90+ point ratings worldwide.
Already completing 40 harvests in Australia, Chile, Uruguay,
South Africa, France, Spain, Portugal and Hungary, he is
the "father" of Suolo, a wine created at Tenuta di Argiano on
the estate of Countess Noemi Marone Cinzano. He is the
founder of Bodega Noemia in Patagonia, elected one of the
10 best wineries in the world by Wine & Spirits in 2008 and
whose highest rating was 95 points. A member of the
exclusive Young Lions-Winemakers of the Future, his
unmistakable style is premised on minimal human
intervention and is terroir- and micro-climate-driven... a
natural for Castello di Casole.
