Fendi Casafranca 2018 Andrea Formilli Luxury Designer Collection

Casafranca Red Wine from Le Corgne Estate embodies the essence of Umbrian craftsmanship blended with international flair. Produced by Andrea Formilli Fendi—son of iconic fashion designer Franca Fendi—this bold red combines native Sagrantino grapes with Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon for a harmonious marriage of Italian tradition and French elegance.

Nestled in Valfabbrica near Perugia, Le Corgne Estate was founded in 2005 when Andrea transformed his family’s heritage land into a boutique winery dedicated to premium wines. Casafranca reflects this vision: a tribute to Franca’s legacy that merges rustic Umbrian terroir with refined global influences. The result is a wine that captures both local authenticity and cross-cultural sophistication.

On the palate, this 2018 vintage reveals layers of dark fruit preserves intertwined with complex balsamic herb undertones. Its velvety texture balances soft tannins and vibrant acidity for an approachable yet lingering finish—a perfect complement to rich dishes like roasted game or aged cheeses. At 15% alcohol by volume, it delivers bold intensity without overpowering elegance.

Crafted for discerning palates seeking unique blends from family-owned estates in Italy’s renowned wine regions, Casafranca stands out among Italian reds through its innovative grape combination and artisanal attention to detail. While vintages may vary slightly due to natural conditions, each bottle honors Le Corgne’s commitment to excellence since its inception over two decades ago.
