Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2020

  Casanova di Neri's Brunello di Montalcino appears in the glass in a deep ruby red with garnet reflections that emphasize its maturity and concentration. The nose reveals a complex bouquet of dark cherries, blackberries, and plums, accompanied by notes of leather, tobacco, vanilla, and a hint of spice, which are the result of careful aging in French oak barrels. A subtle minerality reminiscent of the limestone and clay soils of the Montalcino hillsides adds depth and expressiveness to the wine, while its elegance and finesse are already apparent in the bouquet.

On the palate, Brunello di Montalcino is powerful yet supple, with velvety tannins that lend structure and harmony. The lively acidity balances the dense fruit and provides freshness, while the long, elegant finish underscores the wine's complexity. Particularly noteworthy is the historic Sangiovese Grosso grape variety, which has a centuries-old tradition in Montalcino and gives this Brunello its typical depth, aging potential, and aromatic diversity. The vineyards of Casanova di Neri on the sunny slopes of Tuscany reflect the terroir, history, and distinctive identity of this renowned region in every sip. - Gerardo [TS10/21]
