Tasting Notes
The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto is a showstopper, with a bouquet that mixes hauntingly dark florals, black cherries, incense, exotic spices and sweet sage. It seduces the senses with silken textures and ripe wild berry fruit scents, taking on a steady tension as hints of blood orange and an air of violet florals saturate the palate. It finishes structured and impossibly long as a primary concentration lingers, leaving a stain of blackberry and sour cherry, all framed by regal tannins. The balance here is otherworldly. The 2019 Cerretalto displays all of the best attributes of this radiant vintage. Spellbinding. - Importer Note.
Situated in the northeastern sector of Montalcino, Casanova di Neri meticulously tends to seven distinct vineyards across the region – from Fiesole, Poderuccio, Le Cetine, to Montalcino. This strategic approach enables the creation of several well-balanced unique wines , consistently reflecting the diverse soils, exposures, microclimates, and vine ages, defining the unique identity of each vintage. These wines possess an enchanting allure, evoking imagination.
Established in 1971 by Giovanni Neri, the visionary torchbearer for the potential of Montalcino's wine territory, the legacy seamlessly passed on to his son, Giacomo, in 1991. The journey began in the eastern part of Montalcino and expanded into other areas, acquiring unique terroirs such as Cerretalto, Le Cetine, Pietradonice, and Podernovo. The pursuit of optimal soil and exposures results in wines that are both unique and unmistakably identifiable. The estate's recognition by national and international wine critics underscores its notable contribution to the region.
