Casanova di Neri, Brunello di Montalcino 2018

Casanova di Neri’s 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is a refined expression of Sangiovese, combining vibrant red-fruit character with remarkable balance and finesse. Produced in the estate’s distinctive White Label style since 1978, it is defined by precise tannins, a silky texture and the depth needed for extended cellaring.

Tasting Notes
Bright, clear red in appearance, the wine opens with an intense bouquet of fresh, youthful red fruits, complemented by the refined aromatic profile typical of Brunello. On the palate, lively acidity is beautifully integrated with a creamy, silky texture, while exceptionally fine and precise tannins provide structure without heaviness. The finish is remarkably long and persistent. With its balance, concentration and elegant tannin profile, the 2018 vintage has excellent aging potential and should develop additional complexity over the next 10–20 years under proper cellar conditions.

Production
Made from Sangiovese grown in the Brunello di Montalcino appellation, this wine reflects the region’s combination of Mediterranean warmth, altitude and mineral-rich soils. The grapes are carefully hand-selected both before and after destemming. Fermentation takes place naturally, without the addition of cultured yeast, in an open, temperature-controlled, conical vessel, followed by 23 days of fermentation and maceration. The wine then matures in wood for a further 43 months before release, in keeping with Brunello’s long maturation requirements.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 18°C, ideally after allowing the bottle to come gradually to temperature. Decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended when enjoying the wine young, both to open its aromas and to soften its structured tannins; older bottles should be decanted carefully to separate any sediment. Its elegance and acidity make it an excellent partner for Tuscan specialties, roast lamb, grilled or braised beef, game, truffle dishes and mature hard cheeses.
