Description
The Cerretalto is the synthesis of intuition, passion and vision, characteristics that have been a continual expression of Casanova di Neri. An extraordinary concentration of mineral in the soil imparts an unique impression only in certain vintages and only thanks to a Sangiovese grape from small, straggly bunches. With this decisive contribution of human dedication, love for the work of the earth and great attention in the cellar can a wine reach exceptional quality, personality and unique style that fully expresses the territory of its origin.

Today have about 48 hectares of vineyards divided between four quite distinct areas: the Pietradonice in Castelnuovo dell'Abate, the Cetine in Sant'Angelo in Colle, the Cerretalto and il Fiesole near the farmhouse of the same name facing Montalcino. The grapes have improved in quality so more care and attention has been taken in the winery from the vinification to the use of casks of different sizes and made from different types of wood.
