This intense version is concentrated, with black cherry, blackberry, graphite, tobacco and spice flavors, yet remains light-footed due to the racy profile. Structured, yet beautifully balanced and youthful. Shows purity and length on the aftertaste, which introduces a floral component. Best from 2022 through 2045.

There are a handful of wines in Italy that make me nervous before I taste them because my expectations are so high. This is one of those wines. Indeed, previous editions of Cerretalto have earned the coveted 100 point score, and I am astutely aware of the pedigree and potential that comes forth with each new vintage. As enthusiastic as my assessment of the 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto is, I'm stopping short of that perfect score. This vintage is something of a moving target with wines that are beautiful, without a doubt, yet the growing conditions were not even across the appellation, and achieving optimal tannic management posed a challenge to many producers. If I were to make any criticism of this wine, it would fall along those lines. That aside, this is a beautiful Brunello that boasts deep intensity and bold black fruit flavors that are plummy and rich. Spice, toasted oak and tobacco frame that primary fruit. Cerretalto ages in oak for 30 months and that strong imprint has added to the structure, depth and contemporary character of this A-list Brunello. That oak imprint is also reinforced in the wine's tannins. There's no doubt that this wine needs more cellar aging. I would absolutely not suggest drinking it within the next five years. Any awkwardness it shows now should iron itself out with more bottle time. Only 9,771 bottles were made.

Deep luminous ruby-red. Spicy red cherry and mineral nuances on the nose and in the mouth. Enters fresh and juicy with noteworthy flesh and size to the red and blue fruit flavors, then suave and refined all the way onto the long refined finish. Closes with youthfully chewy tannins and a tactile mouthfeel offering hints of flinty minerals and raspberry. A brooding giant that is extremely elegant and refined. Very well done.

Casanova di Neri
Casanova di Neri, eines der beeindruckendsten aufstrebenden Weingüter dieser Region, wurde 1971 von Giovanni Neri gegründet. Heute bewirtschaftet sein Sohn Giacomo Neri die 500 Hektar Grund, die auf 63 Hektar bestockt sind und die Weinberge Fiesole, Poderuccio, Podernuovo, Le Cetine, Pietradonice, Cerratalto und Spereta in der Region Montalcino umfassen. Als eines der angesehensten Weingüter Italiens produziert Casanova di Neri ein vorzügliches Weinsortiment, einschließlich eines weißen Verschnitts aus Vermentino und Grecchetto, sowie einiger süffiger Roter aus Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese und/oder Colorino, und natülich einer Handvoll Spitzen-Brunellos. Mit seinem eleganten, modernen Stil ist Casanova di Neri nach wie vor einer der führenden Erzeuger, der ein ums andere Jahr kraftstrotzende, üppige Weine kreiert. Die exklusivsten und reichhaltigsten Brunellos sind die Lagenweine Tenuta Nuova und Cerretalto.
