Casanova di Neri, Brunello di Montalcino 2018

Casanova di Neri’s 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is an elegant, finely detailed expression of Sangiovese from one of Tuscany’s most celebrated appellations. Produced in the winery’s distinctive white-label style since 1978, it combines vibrant fruit, polished tannins and impressive length with the structure required for extended cellaring.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a brilliant ruby-red colour and an intense bouquet of fresh, youthful red fruits. On the palate, lively acidity is beautifully balanced by a creamy texture and silky mouthfeel, while the tannins are exceptionally fine and precise. The finish is remarkably persistent, leaving a refined impression of red fruit and freshness. Although approachable in its youth thanks to its polished texture, the 2018 Brunello has the balance and structure to develop further complexity in bottle. It should reward cellaring for many years, provided it is stored in cool, dark and stable conditions.

Production
Made from Sangiovese grown in the Montalcino area, this Brunello reflects the region’s ability to produce wines with both elegance and longevity. The grapes are carefully selected and destemmed by hand before undergoing natural fermentation without the addition of cultured yeast. Fermentation and maceration take place in an open, cone-shaped, temperature-controlled environment over 23 days. The wine then matures for a further 43 months in wood before release.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 18°C. Decanting for around one hour is recommended when enjoying the wine young, helping to open its aromas and soften the structured profile; older bottles should be decanted carefully and briefly, primarily to remove any sediment. Its refined structure and freshness make it an excellent partner for Tuscan dishes, roasted or grilled red meats, wild game, rich mushroom preparations and mature hard cheeses.

Producer
Casanova di Neri has proudly produced its white-label Brunello since 1978, guided by a deep passion for the land and a commitment to expressing the character of its own Sangiovese. The estate is recognised for Brunello di Montalcino marked by elegance, finesse, precision and substantial ageing potential. Its meticulous grape selection and hands-on approach in the cellar are central to the distinctive quality of its wines.
