Producer details
The Cerretalto is the synthesis of intuition, passion, and vision, characteristics that have been a continual expression of Casanova di Neri. An extraordinary concentration of mineral in the soil imparts a unique impression only in certain vintages and only thanks to a Sangiovese grape from small, straggly bunches. With this decisive contribution of human dedication, love for the work of the earth, and great attention in the cellar can a wine reach exceptional quality, personality, and unique style that fully expresses the territory of its origin.

Ratings
96 points - Robert Parker The Wine Advocate “Showing dried blackberry, balsam herb, vapor rub and a hint of charred chili spice, this wine offers an aromatic profile that is very much in line with a vintage that saw cool spring temperatures and a hot summer. The Casanova di Neri 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto is a wine of depth, dusty tannins and a slightly evolved fruit character. I tasted this 2018 Cerretalto next to the estate's new releases from 2019, and the latter vintage certainly offers more overall clarity and crunch. The Neri family does great work with tannin management, and although there is some chalkiness here, the wine's structure is expertly folded into the fruit concentration. Only 9,700 bottles were made.”
