Depth is the calling card of the 2012 Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto, which layers dark cherry and plum with tobacco, sweet spice and a distinctive mineral edge in a dense yet remarkably poised frame. The palate is broad, tactile and concentrated, with ripe but firm tannins and vibrant acidity giving the wine both thrust and definition, leading to a long, savory, tightly wound finish that promises even greater nuance with time in bottle.

Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto by Casanova di Neri is a single-vineyard, 100% Sangiovese cru from an iron- and mineral-rich natural amphitheater above the Asso River east of Montalcino, famed for its very low yields and distinctive graphite, ferrous and sanguine notes. Produced only in selected vintages and aged for an extended period in oak and bottle, it is a powerful yet finely structured Brunello with exceptional depth, length and ageing potential, widely regarded as the estate’s flagship and one of the denomination’s benchmark wines.
