The Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto Riserva 2015 DOCG 0.75 L is a wine of great character, born from the experience of a winery rooted in Montalcino and from the desire to offer, over time, an evolving interpretation of the Brunello di Montalcino appellation, capable of accompanying tasting moments that call for depth, silence, and length. Casanova di Neri — a winery that has established itself in the Tuscan wine scene through a philosophy based on respect for the terroir, careful grape selection, and a discreet yet decisive hand in the cellar — tells a story of consistency between vocation and work: meticulously tended vines, an approach that favors slow maturation, and targeted resource management, drawing out the potential of Sangiovese without becoming overly aggressive. Cerretalto Riserva 2015 presents itself as a single-vineyard expression, originating from a historic vineyard in Montalcino where calcareous soils, the dominant exposure, and ventilation temper the energy of the grape variety, offering a structure that consolidates over time through extended aging in large-capacity oak casks. The winery’s production philosophy favors measured intervention, rigorous harvesting, and controlled fermentation in vessels that respect the raw material, followed by aging that enhances aromatic complexity and tannic finesse without sacrificing the fresh tension that opens the palate to long-lasting flavor horizons. Riserva Cerretalto stands out for its balsamic note of Mediterranean herbs and fruit depth reminiscent of sour cherry, plum, and hints of violet, enriched by nuances of cocoa and sweet spices, while the tannic texture remains polished yet reveals considerable structural strength. Within the Casanova di Neri range, Cerretalto Riserva 2015 occupies the top position, offering a more structured and long-lived interpretation than the other wines in the range, designed for significant aging and to be enjoyed during moments of gastronomic reflection, capable of accompanying highly intense dishes or unfolding as a moment of wine meditation. In keeping with the STELT positioning, this expression represents authenticity, restraint, and an unfussy presence that captivates those seeking wine learning and uncompromising style.
