2018 Casanova di Neri Cerretalto – Power and Precision from Brunello
The 2018 Casanova di Neri Cerretalto stands among the most distinctive single-vineyard expressions in Brunello di Montalcino. Sourced from the famed Cerretalto site, this wine reflects a unique microclimate and soil profile that consistently produce Brunellos of intensity, structure, and long-term aging potential.
Tasting Notes
The 2018 vintage opens with aromas of dark cherry, wild herbs, crushed stone, and subtle balsamic notes. On the palate, it delivers layered red and black fruit framed by firm yet refined tannins. Bright acidity and mineral tension carry through a long, focused finish, revealing both the power of the site and the restraint of the vintage.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
Cerretalto is planted exclusively to Sangiovese on stony, mineral-rich soils influenced by the nearby Asso River. The vineyard’s cooler conditions and strong diurnal shifts contribute to aromatic complexity and structural precision. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel, followed by extended aging in large oak casks, allowing the terroir to remain at the forefront.
Investment & Collectibility
Cerretalto is produced only in select vintages and remains one of the most sought-after wines of central Italy. The 2018 release offers a compelling balance of accessibility and longevity, making it highly attractive to collectors focused on premium Italian fine wine.
Vintage Insights & Accolades
The 2018 growing season was cooler and more measured, yielding wines with freshness, aromatic clarity, and refined structure. Critics praise this vintage for its elegance and precision.
