One of Italy's undeniably iconic wines, this Brunello captivates with enchanting aromas of cherry and dark berries, complemented by spicy undertones. On the palate, rich dark fruit flavors take center stage, followed by perfectly balanced acidity and silky-smooth, almost sweet tannins that lead into a long, lingering finish. With its wonderfully intense, juicy, and dense structure, this Brunello stands out and offers excellent aging potential.
During the Cretaceous period, when almost all of today's Italy lay beneath the seabed, seismic geological shifts began that eventually resulted in the rich mix of soils and rocks found in Casanova di Neri's seven vineyards. Over the following millennia, it shaped the hills of Montalcino and the basins of the Ombrone and Orcia rivers that surround it, creating a soil like the crumbly clay shale known as galestro, on which the Sangiovese grape reaches its best potential. The soil here is also rich in special minerals, such as the precious onyx, which was found in the Pietradonice vineyard on the site of a former quarry. The winery owns 7 wonderful vineyards: Fiesole, Cerretalto, Collalli, Podernuovo, Pietradonice, Giovanni Neri and Cetine.
Characterized by a bright and intense red color, the first impression on the nose is airy and citrusy, gradually unfolding to reveal notes of red fruits, especially raspberry and black cherry. The tannins are soft and silky, balanced by restrained acidity that perfectly reflects the energy of this sunlit vintage. The finish is long, elegant, fresh, and harmonious.
