The 2016 Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto is an extraordinary Sangiovese that unites power and finesse, earning 100 points from James Suckling and 98 points from Wine Advocate. It opens with intense aromas of black cherry, currant, violet, iron, and rosemary, deepened by notes of licorice, clove, ginger, balsamic herbs, graphite, and baked clay. On the palate it is full-bodied and racy, delivering concentrated black fruit, plum, and spice wrapped in vibrant acidity and fine-grained tannins. Complex, energetic, and beautifully balanced, it finishes long, velvety, and savory, showcasing both the distinctive terroir and the immense aging potential that make it one of Tuscany’s most exceptional Brunellos.
