Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 'Giovanni Neri' 2020 (750 ml.) Casanova di Neri

TE WINE

The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG “Giovanni Neri” 2020 by Casanova di Neri is crafted from Sangiovese Grosso, hand-harvested in the second week of October. After a double selection, both manual and optical, the grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation in truncated-cone wooden vats for 32 days with frequent punch-downs. Aging for 36 months in large oak casks and 24 months in bottle imparts remarkable complexity to a wine of intense, youthful red colour. On the nose, it weaves together graphite, crisp red fruits, chocolate, and tobacco. The palate is broad, vibrant, and velvety, marked by great harmony and integrity. Born from a balanced vintage, characterised by abundant water reserves and regular ripening, it finishes long and profound, perfect with game, braised meats, and aged cheeses.
