Casanova di Neri "Cerretalto" Brunello di Montalcino 2109

About This Wine

The 2019 Casanova di Neri “Cerretalto” Brunello di Montalcino is a monumental expression of Sangiovese Grosso, showcasing the power and precision that define this legendary single-vineyard bottling. Sourced from the mineral-rich soils of the Cerretalto estate, it opens with deep aromas of black cherry, graphite, tobacco, and dark chocolate, layered with hints of violets and spice. The palate is opulent yet poised—silky tannins and vibrant acidity frame waves of ripe fruit and savory earth tones. Aged three years in oak and two in bottle, this Brunello delivers extraordinary length and complexity, promising decades of evolution in the cellar.

Score

"Wow. Seductive aromas of slate, violets and black cherries as well as some graphite and cedar. Full-bodied, this has incredible depth, intensity and purity, building on the palate with focused fruit and pronounced tannins. Goes on for minutes. A wine for the long run."--100 points, James Suckling.
