Tasting Notes and Description

Tasting Notes For Casanova di Neri Cerretalto Brunello di Montalcino 2018

This vintage best represents the excellence of the Cerretalto estate, with deepness, intensity, and greatness that will captivate your senses from the first pour.

The wine boasts a bright ruby red color that reflects its impeccable quality. The bouquet is a symphony of aromas that begins with unmistakable graphite, followed by hints of young and dark red fruits, chocolate, and licorice. On the palate, the Cerretalto 2013 is immense, thick, and elegant all at once, with tannins that are perfectly smoothed and integrated.

The wine's incredible and persistent finish is a testament to its exceptional quality and long life ahead. For best results, it should be opened at least three hours in advance and served at the recommended temperature to fully experience the complexity of its flavors.

Critic Ratings

James Suckling Review - Rated 97:

Black cherries and dried cherries are allied with notes of balsamic, leather and minty earthiness, but it needs time to open up. Full-bodied on the palate with good fruit concentration and refined tannins. Still youthful, with grainy oak touches. Hints of graphite in the polished finish.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 96:
Showing dried blackberry, balsam herb, vapor rub and a hint of charred chili spice, this wine offers an aromatic profile that is very much in line with a vintage that saw cool spring temperatures and a hot summer. The Casanova di Neri 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto is a wine of depth, dusty tannins and a slightly evolved fruit character. I tasted this 2018 Cerretalto next to the estate's new releases from 2019, and the latter vintage certainly offers more overall clarity and crunch. The Neri family does great work with tannin management, and although there is some chalkiness here, the wine's structure is expertly folded into the fruit concentration.

Wine Spectator Review - Rated 95:

There's a firm underlying structure in this intense red, boosting its plum, cherry, eucalyptus and iron flavors, with a solid midpalate that builds to a lingering aftertaste of red fruit, hibiscus and mineral. Shows terrific length and freshness.
