Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto 2016 i trækasse

DoctorWine

“Intriguing and very classic nose on red fruit, mainly cherries, with a touch of darker fruit and a salty balsamic note of eucalyptus that broadens the olfactory spectrum. Compact but persuasive taste texture without excesses with very high balance, refined tannins, epic finish and an incredible characterization that has been constantly growing over the years. We are in a northern area on red soils, but the heart of this wine is warm and the class is immense.”

One of the highlights in the expression of the Riserva, in a vintage blessed, a cru definitively in the history of the denomination. Spontaneous fermentation, about a month of maceration on the skins, raspberry jam to the nose, with touches of nutmeg and laurel. The mouthfeel has sapid and velvety tannins and the finish is fruity-officinal.

Wow. Incredible purity and transparency with cherries, bark, mushroom, flower and slate/stone on the nose. Full-bodied yet agile and fresh with a fine tannin structure that runs the length of the wine and goes on forever. The polish, elegance and grace is breathtaking. Power with agility. A revelation for the 2016 vintage in Brunello.

Complex and extremely deep and intense, it shows in the most persuasive and noble way a floral alternation that captivates right away. The hints of wild violet blend with white pepper, almonds, chalk, flint, gunpowder and bergamot. There's more in the presence of dark chocolate mixed with peppermint and eucalyptus. Full body, perfectly polymerized tannins with very fine grain and a spicy finish in the surprising gracefulness of a true but very noble thoroughbred. The best Cerretalto ever. Better from 2024. A perfect wine, a divine wine.

Tony Wood Italian Wine

Bright ruby red in colour with a translucent purple hew. Wild forest berries, underbrush, black truffle, faint humus. Dark powdered spice and orange peel zest. Youthful. Showing complexity beyond its age, brings together all the qualities of this vintage. Such poise, gives layers of pleasure. Ultra refined. Expands in all directions on the mid palate. Has the textural depth of the Mariana Trench. Defines balance and elegance. Shows too many dimensions to list. The finish is immortal.

Falstaff

Sparkling ruby with a fine garnet edge. Multi-layered nose with notes of dark cherries, blackberries, rosewood, behind which are slightly earthy tones, clear and memorable. Has a lot of plump fruit in the beginning, juicy dark cherries, plums, then opens with fine-meshed tannins in many layers, very good tension and length, elegant and finely defined, long finish.
