Casanova di Neri was founded in 1971. It is now one of Montalcino’s, and indeed Italy’s, most admired producers. The family-owned and run estate is led by Giacomo Neri. The estate was catapulted into the limelight in 2006 when Wine Spectator named their Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2001 the World’s #1 Wine, calling it “one of the best examples of the recent winemaking renaissance in Tuscany”.
Casanova di Neri has only 63 hectares of vines, divided into seven vineyards, of which Cerretalto is one. Casanova di Neri is famous for its range of opulent and powerful Brunellos. But it is especially prized for its two exclusive and small production special cuvées: Tenuta Nuova and Cerretalto. Both these wines are 100% Sangiovese Grosso and hence are Brunello di Montalcino (and not ‘Super Tuscans). Both wines are aged in oak for 36 months (and then in bottle for a further 12 for Tenuta Nuova, and 24 for Cerretalto).
This is very tannic and powerful with loads of currants, spices and hints of wood. So much stone and mineral character to this. Violets, too. Full-bodied, tight and structured. Massively dense yet agile and bright. It goes on for minutes. Needs at least three or four years to soften. Try in 2020.
Here is a stunning wine that exudes excellence in primary material and winemaking craft. Man and nature come together with perfect precision and harmony in the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto. The balance is exquisite. Bold cherry and blackberry notes are followed by crushed mineral, licorice, smoke and lightly fragrant cedar. The wine also shows convincing power and volume. It spreads evenly over the palate, and its flavor intensity can be counted over many long minutes. Cerretalto is beautifully concentrated and rich, but it is never too heavy or dense. This is an Italian icon that is still drinking young now, but it has an exciting world of possibility ahead. I think we'd all like to come along for the ride.

Effusive and fresh, this red shows black currant, cherry, strawberry, cedar and leather aromas and flavors. Rich and concentrated, turning more elegant with air. The oak becomes more integrated after a few hours and the long finish picks up elements of mineral and tobacco.
