Thilo Besançon

At Casanuova - Thilo Besançon, Thilo Besan is the winemaker responsible for carrying the estate’s wines from early intent to finished bottle. The role ties the maker closely to the house style: season by season, the work depends on repeated attention, measured decisions, and a clear sense of what the estate is meant to express. In that setting, the wines are not separate from the place or the name on the label; they are the result of both.

In Figline E Incisa Valdarno, Italy, Besançon works in a setting where vineyard and cellar are read together. The present work is anchored in Tuscany and in the practical demands of making wines that carry an estate identity without losing the mark of the vintage. This is craft built through continuity rather than display, with each year adding another layer to the vocabulary of the house.

Thilo's signature wines include Rosso Casanuova, Altoreggi, Senzamare, and Guardabuoi 2024. Taken together, they map the estate’s range and show how the work at Casanuova - Thilo Besançon is articulated across individual bottlings. Rosso Casanuova sits alongside Altoreggi and Senzamare, while Guardabuoi 2024 marks a specific year within that body of work. The set gives a straightforward view of the wines associated with Besançon and the estate he makes for. And after national and international viticulture experience took over the farm from his father in 2012.
