Producer details
Cerretalto is the synthesis of intuition, passion and vision that have always characterized Casanova di Neri’s operation. The mineral footprint of the soil, the extraordinary concentration only achievable in certain years and only thanks to a small and loose bunch of Sangiovese, the decisive human contribution of dedication and love for the work of the land and the great attention in the cellar of a wine of exceptional quality, personality and unique style that fully expresses the territory where it is born together with our idea of the great Brunello.

100 points - Robert Parker The Wine Advocate “Of these new releases from this benchmark estate, the Casanova di Neri 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto is my favorite wine. This Riserva is larger than life with ripe fruit, raspberry, cherry, spice, cola, root beer, mesquite and cedar. The wine offers a flashy and generous quality of fruit that unfolds over time with a multifaceted and multi-layered presentation. One thing that stands out here is the acidity that is bracing and tart at first but then succumbs to an important supporting role, rendering lasting freshness and persistence to the finish. With time, you get a flash of cherry and crème de cassis that seals the deal.”
