Wow. Incredible purity and transparency with cherries, bark, mushroom, flower and slate/stone on the nose. Full-bodied yet agile and fresh with a fine tannin structure that runs the length of the wine and goes on forever. The polish, elegance and grace is breathtaking. Power with agility. A revelation for the 2016 vintage in Brunello. Drink in 2024 and onwards but wonderful to taste now.

Here's an important keepsake from a classic vintage. The Casanova di Neri 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto needs time to open, especially if you plan to drink the wine earlier than is recommended (you're best off waiting five years or more). This powerful wine is packed tight with black fruit, plum and summer ripe cherry. Those dark fruit tones segue to spice, baked clay, balsam herb and gardening soil. The oak is always more apparent in the Cerretalto (which is released one year later, as if it were a Riserva) compared to the Tenuta Nuova. The vineyard used makes a big difference, giving this wine more textural weight and thicker fiber. It's all a question of taste, but if you want power (with 15% alcohol), richness, sensuality and voluptuousness in your Brunello, Cerretalto is the bottle at the end of the rainbow.

A dense, racy and expressive red, offering black cherry, black currant, violet, iron and a hint of rosemary aromas and flavors. This is driven by vivid acidity and refined tannins, which lend both finesse and length. Features great harmony and elegance. Best from 2025 through 2047.

There’s something intriguing, alluringly dark, earthy – animal, even – yet floral and packed full of rich black fruits and exotic spices that defines the 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto. This impresses with its cool-toned dark berries and minerals, complemented by bright acidity and sweet inner herbal tones. It’s not yet ready to reveal all of its charms, though it drops subtle hints each step of the way. A bitter twang keeps the expression lively and fresh, while grippy tannins saturate deeply and leave the palate aching with youthful tension, as notes of licorice, clove and a hint of ginger linger. What a wine!

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.
