Description
A still red from the heart of Tuscany, a Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, 14% ABV, produced by Casanova di Neri. 1.5L magnum bottle, 2020 vintage. A wine that embodies the passion and dedication of the Neri family, founders in 1971. The Sangiovese grapes, hand-harvested between October 4th and 12th, after 21 days of fermentation and maceration, are aged for 45 months in oak barrels. A distinctive and intense aroma precedes a dry, warm, slightly tannic, robust, harmonious, and persistent flavor. An ideal pairing with red meats, game, and aged cheeses, a sensory experience that celebrates the richness of the Tuscan terroir.

A machine then separates the grapes from the stalks, which fall onto a further sorting table. The grapes, thus selected, go by gravity into the vats, where the vinification process takes place. |
