Cerretalto Brunello Di Montalcino DOCG Tuscany 6.0L

The Cerretalto is the top selection from Casanova di Neri — a Brunello di Montalcino that comes from a single site in the southeast of the growing region and is only bottled in exceptional vintages. Six liters of volume, a magnum bottle in a large format, which gives the wine even more room to develop.

Casanova di Neri is one of the defining wineries of Montalcino. The Neri family manages their sites with a focus on hand-picked Sangiovese grapes and gentle processing — a long maceration period ensures the characteristic tannin structure and the deep garnet red color that is inherent to this wine.

In the glass, the Cerretalto shows aromas of black cherry, tobacco, and dried herbs, underpinned by leather notes and a mineral undertone. The tannins are dense and firm, but with the precision that distinguishes great Sangiovese sites — no excess weight, but structure with drive. The finish is long, spicy, with a hint of licorice.

Serving recommendation: 18 °C, decant at least two hours before drinking. Pairs with braised wild boar leg, Bistecca alla Fiorentina, or mature Pecorino di Pienza. A bottle for special tables — birthdays, anniversaries, or evenings when the wine itself is the occasion.
