Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto 2019

Casanova di Neri’s Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto 2019 is a striking single-vineyard expression of Sangiovese, combining power, precision, and remarkable elegance. One of the estate’s most sought-after wines, Cerretalto is known for its deep concentration, refined structure, and captivating aromatic complexity. It reflects both the character of this exceptional Montalcino site and the long-standing prestige of Brunello di Montalcino as one of Italy’s great red wines.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Cerretalto 2019 shows superb depth and presence, with a dark, vivid color that hints at its concentration. The nose is layered and seductive, unfolding with dark floral notes, black cherry, incense, exotic spice, sweet sage, and hints of violet. As it opens, aromas of ripe wild berries and blood orange add brightness and lift. The palate is silky yet powerful, with an almost seamless texture balanced by tension and energy. Flavors of blackberry and sour cherry are wrapped in regal tannins and carried through to a very long, structured finish. The wine already shows extraordinary harmony, but its concentration and architecture suggest excellent aging potential over many years.

Production
Cerretalto comes from a highly regarded vineyard site in Montalcino, where the soils and exposure contribute to the wine’s depth, finesse, and distinct mineral tension. The estate is known for careful vineyard work and strict selection, ensuring that only top-quality Sangiovese grapes are used for this bottling. Vinification is carried out with precision to preserve purity of fruit, aromatic detail, and the wine’s natural structure.

Food & Serving
This is a wine for refined dishes such as braised beef, roasted game, wild mushroom risotto, or aged pecorino. It will also shine alongside truffle-based cuisine and richly flavored Tuscan fare. Serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young, to allow the aromas and structure to fully unfold.
