Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto 2015 i trækasse

James Suckling

This is a momentous wine with incredible power and structure that has so much minerality and crushed-stone character to the black cherries and blueberries. Full-bodied and tannic, yet the tannins are layered and polished with a glorious, creamy and juicy texture that coats your mouth. It goes on for minutes. Incredible wine.

International Wine Report

The 2015 Cerretalto Brunello di Montalcino from Casanova di Neri is once again a truly remarkable and a monumental wine, not only in terms of the estate, but the entire region. This simply gorgeous Brunello impresses with its alluring nuances of ripe black raspberries and cherries, which are accented with exotic spices, herbs, cedar, dried violets, crushed stones and hints of licorice that all emerge beautifully from the glass. On the palate this is just as impressive, displaying an incredible polished texture and fantastic overall balance and poise. There is a wonderful combination of fresh acidity and underlying minerality that frames the core of gorgeous fruit. Everything all builds up to the marvelous finish, where it comes together to linger gracefully to complete this stunning wine. Year after year Cerretalto flirts with perfection and there is no exception in this vintage. This is another magical wine from the Neri Family that is magnificent in its youth, but shows incredible promise for a long, bright future ahead.

Wine Spectator

Wild rosemary, thyme and juniper aromas and flavors frame the core of black cherry in this supple red. Firmly built, shows refined tannins embraced by the bright fruit. Very expressive and approachable now, yet should continue to improve.

Of these new releases from this benchmark estate, the Casanova di Neri 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto is my favorite wine. This Riserva is larger than life with ripe fruit, raspberry, cherry, spice, cola, root beer, mesquite and cedar. The wine offers a flashy and generous quality of fruit that unfolds over time with a multifaceted and multi-layered presentation. One thing that stands out here is the acidity that is bracing and tart at first but then succumbs to an important supporting role, rendering lasting freshness and persistence to the finish. With time, you get a flash of cherry and crème de cassis that seals the deal.
