Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017 0.375L

Brunello according to the traditional method.

After optical sorting, the whole grapes are spontaneously fermented for 25 days. The wine has subsequently matured for 45 months in Slavonian botti of up to 103 hl.

Subsequently 6 months in bottle.

The wine has been produced since 1978, which was the very first vintage.

The grapes come from fields around the cellar at the eastern end of Montacino.

2017 was a difficult year with late frosts and extreme heat over the summer. As a result, Casanova di Neri has chosen not to produce Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto DOCG 2017. All grapes from here are therefore blended in this wine, just like in 2005, 2009, 2011 and 2014.

The grapes were harvested in the first week of October 2017.

The result is, as always, a very elegant wine, and the grapes from the Cerretalto field suit the wine to that extent.
