Menu Casana

2024 was a year of significant temperature fluctuations in our cellar, which helped concentrate aromatic compounds and impart unique characteristics, especially to the wine, Port, and Rum Caroni barrels. These are the barrels we primarily used to craft Mansueto 2024. Its deep amber color is accompanied by rich aromas of ripe fruits like figs and plums, with hints of honey and sweet spices. On the palate, layers of caramel and vanilla are enhanced by notes of oak, cocoa, and a delicate toastiness. The finish is long and harmonious, with the unmistakable spicy kick that is even more pronounced than in previous vintages, making this year’s release truly exceptional in structure, balance, and intensity.

Aged predominantly in Rum, Whisky, and Port casks, with a touch of wine barrel, it provides an extraordinary experience. The deep amber color and caramelized aromas blend with fruity notes of raisins and dates. The taste reveals complex layers of caramel, toffee, and vanilla, enriched by hints of oak and a pleasantly light, lingering spiciness that adds vibrancy. A beer that captivates with its harmony.

The year 2022 also “gave us” a great vintage for our Mansueto.
After periodic tastings throughout the year that gave us high hopes for a major vintage, in the last few weeks the tastings from the different barrels, of Rum, Wine, Bourbon and Whisky, have become tighter in order to recreate that moment, magical for us, of the creation of the new Mansueto 2022 vintage that we look forward to arriving in your hands to finally taste.

The moment when our Barley Wine is born is a magical moment. It is that moment when we select the best barrels to create the perfect blend and give birth to the new Mansueto vintage.
In 2020 many casks still had a lot to give to our Barley Wine and we made the painful decision to “deprive” ourselves of the 2020 Mansueto to get to the “2021” and create one of the best Mansueto’s ever. Dense and enveloping, every sip is a journey and a discovery for the palate.

A complex, fragrant and round blend of Barley Wine-style beers. Ageing that goes from two to three years in different barriques of our cellar, which have imparted their extraordinary and unique character, patiently and slowly refining the gustatory and aromatic profile.

When we selected the barrels to create Mansueto 2019, we were struck by the uniqueness of three different barrels. Three barrels that had created such a unique bond with our Mansueto that we chose to bottle them in purity to let you enjoy every sip of this magic: Mansueto 2019 Riserva Torbata Scotch Whisky, Mansueto 2019 Riserva Château Margaux, and Mansueto 2019 Riserva Caroni Rum.
This is Mansueto 2019 Riserva Caroni Rum, our Barley Wine aged for 3 years in this magical Caroni Rum barrel, then further refined for an additional 24 months in the bottle to soften the overpowering character that the rum imparted to this beer.
The result is astonishing. Hints of red fruits and coffee give way to a pleasant alcoholic warmth that closes enveloping with aromas of caramel, ripe fruit, and raisins. This is a very rare barrel, just like the Caroni Rum that carries with it a story worth reading, told directly by those who discovered this incredible rum.

In the barrel selection process for crafting Mansueto 2024, two barrels stood out so distinctly that they earned the title of Mansueto Riserva 2024: one ex-Château Margaux barrel and one Rum Caroni barrel.

When we created Mansueto 2018, two barrels in particular struck us for their uniqueness: a French Premier Cru Château Margaux oak barrel and an American Bourbon barrel.
