Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino "Cerretalto" Riserva 2015 DOCG 0.75l

The Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto Riserva 2015 DOCG 0.75L is a distinctive offering born from the experience of a winery rooted in the Montalcino region and the desire to offer an evolving interpretation of the Brunello di Montalcino appellation over time, capable of accompanying tastings that demand depth, silence, and length. The Casanova di Neri winery—a company that has built itself in the Tuscan landscape through a philosophy based on respect for the terroir, careful grape selection, and a discreet yet firm hand in the cellar—tells a story of coherence between vocation and work: meticulously tended vines, an approach that favors slow ripening, and targeted resource management, to extract the full potential of the Sangiovese without overdoing it. Cerretalto Riserva 2015 presents itself as a single-vineyard story, sourced from a historic Montalcino vineyard where the calcareous soils, dominant exposure, and ventilation temper the grape's energy, offering a structure that consolidates over time thanks to lengthy aging in large oak barrels. The winery's production philosophy emphasizes measured interventions, a rigorous harvest, and controlled fermentation in containers that respect the raw material, followed by aging that enhances aromatic complexity and tannic finesse, without sacrificing a fresh tension that opens the palate to long flavor horizons. Riserva Cerretalto is distinguished by a balsamic note of Mediterranean herbs and a depth of fruit reminiscent of black cherry, plum, and hints of violet, enriched with nuances of cocoa and sweet spices, while the tannic texture remains smooth while revealing a structural strength. Within the Casanova di Neri range, Cerretalto Riserva 2015 occupies the pinnacle of its status, offering a more structured and long-lived approach than the other wines in the line. Designed for significant aging and ideal for moments of gastronomic reflection, it pairs well with intense dishes or offers a moment of wine-related meditation. True to the STELT positioning, this expression embodies authenticity, restraint, and an unfussy presence that appeals to those seeking wine learning and uncompromising style.
