Casanova Di Neri Brunello 'Cerretalto' 2019 - 1.5 Litre Bottle

This remarkable Brunello hails from Italy, in the celebrated Tuscany region, specifically within the prestigious Montalcino area. Casanova di Neri, founded by Giovanni Neri in 1971 and now helmed by his son Giacomo, is recognized for elevating the global reputation of Brunello di Montalcino through a philosophy centered on meticulous vineyard management and bold, expressive winemaking. The estate's 'Cerretalto' vineyard is particularly revered for its unique terroir of iron-rich soils, yielding wines of profound depth and longevity.

Wine Description

The 2019 Casanova di Neri Brunello 'Cerretalto' is a striking garnet red with luminous ruby edges. On the nose, it unfurls complex layers of black cherry, wild raspberry, dried rose petals, and hints of balsamic herbs, intertwined with subtle notes of cocoa, tobacco, and crushed stone. The palate is powerful yet beautifully balanced, delivering ripe red and black fruits wrapped in finely grained tannins, with vibrant acidity that provides remarkable lift. The wine’s full body evolves toward a long, savoury finish accented by minerality and whispers of sweet spice.
